The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for northern, southeastern and southwestern St. Lawrence County as well as other areas of northern New York, and Vermont over the New Year’s holiday weekend.

Today and tonight the National Weather Service is expecting a light freezing drizzle the mid-morning hours, until temperatures climb above freezing.

A few icy spots are possible on untreated roads and sidewalks, but measurable precipitation is generally not expected, the weather service said.

The NWS said it will continue to monitor the potential for light to moderate mixed wintry precipitation late Saturday into Sunday across the North Country. The best chance for accumulating snow and sleet will be across far northern New York. Meanwhile, a mix of sleet, freezing rain, and plain rain is likely across the remainder of the region.

Precipitation will likely transition to snow from northwest to southeast before ending on Sunday, with some light snow accumulations possible across the Champlain Valley, as well as central and eastern Vermont.

Lastly, much colder temperatures and low wind chills are expected Sunday night into Monday.

The National Weather Service advises that if you have travel plans late Saturday into Sunday, stay tuned to the latest forecasts.
