A winter storm warning remains in effect through 1 p.m. in St. Lawrence County as a wintry mix of precipitation will begin to taper off later today, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Widespread snow and mixed precipitation will taper to light snow showers and flurries by this afternoon into Wednesday morning as low pressure exits east and much colder air pushes into the region, forecasters say.

The high temp today will be around 22 with west winds at 9 to 11 miles per hour, NWS says.

Overnight the low will be around 5 with wind chill values of -6, forecasters say.

Unseasonably cold and mainly dry weather then persists across the area through much of the week before temperatures moderate into next week, the service says.
