... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 7 PM this evening to 7 am
EST Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Winter Storm
Warning for freezing rain... snow and sleet which is in effect
from 7 PM this evening to 7 am EST Thursday.

Another very complex storm will impact the central and
southeastern Catskills... Mid Hudson valley... the Berkshires and
Litchfield County Tuesday evening through Wednesday night. Snow
will overspread the warning area Tuesday evening... however warmer
air will move in aloft resulting in a change over to freezing
rain and sleet overnight. Freezing rain is expected to be the
dominate precipitation type Wednesday. A change over back to snow
is possible Wednesday night before the precipitation tapers off.

Before the change over to freezing rain and or sleet occurs 2 to 4
inches of snow is expected across Ulster... Dutchess and Litchfield
counties... with higher amounts of 4 to 8 inches possible across
Greene... Columbia and Berkshire counties. Ice accumulations of a
quarter inch are expected with up to a half an inch possible.

The precipitation will be the result of an area of low pressure
approaching from the southwest today which will move across the
Ohio Valley tonight... and into the Great Lakes region Wednesday. A
secondary area of low pressure will develop near Long Island
Wednesday... then both lows will head northeast Wednesday night.

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow...
sleet... and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
