From the Forecaster
Rain and Snow To Close Out the Week - Widespread precipitation will start tonight as a complex storm system begins to impact eastern New York and western New England. While rain will be the dominant precipitation type everywhere initially, a gradual transition over to a rain/snow mix is expected Thursday evening into Thursday night before snow becomes the dominant precipitation type across higher elevations on Friday. Precipitation begins to wane Friday night into Saturday morning, though some lingering showers will persist into Saturday afternoon/night especially in mountainous areas.
