The Capital Region is preparing for another round of snowfall, the second in less than a week. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 1 p.m. today until 1 a.m. Friday for a large portion of the area. According to the National Weather Service, some communities might see between three and six inches of snow before the storm system moves out.
The snow is expected to begin this afternoon and continue into Thursday morning, transitioning to lake effect snow showers Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. Localized snow squalls may be possible Thursday morning. Gusty winds on Thursday may lead to blowing and drifting snow.
The weather conditions could make tonight and tomorrow's commutes slippery, and drivers are urged to use caution. The hazardous conditions could impact the Thursday morning commute. Residents are advised to keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in their vehicles in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
