Areas affected...Parts of NY into New England

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation 

Valid 230727Z - 231130Z

SUMMARY...A mix of heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain will
continue to spread east-northeast from parts of southern/eastern New
York into New England through sunrise. Heavy snow rates of 1-1.5
in/hr will be most probable in a band along the northern periphery
of the mixed transition zone.

DISCUSSION...An extensive swath of mixed winter precip is ongoing
across southern to eastern NY into parts of southern VT/NH. This has
been aided by strong low-level warm theta-e advection amid a 50-60
kt low-level jet per ENX/BGM VWP data. Low-level warming has again
been faster up the Hudson Valley than indicated by evening model
guidance with prior 1"/hr snowfall rates at ALB transitioning to
mixed freezing rain/sleet during the past hour. Based on recent
radar trends, this mixed phase should be the dominant precip type as
it gradually expands east-northeast into parts of MA and southern
VT/NH in the next few hours. Precipitation rates from 0.04-0.12
in/hr should be expected based on upstream measurements/guidance.
Heavier snowfall rates should still occur just to the
north-northeast of the transition zone, with rates of 1-1.5 in/hr
becoming increasingly probable across parts of northern VT/NH into a
part of southwest ME through sunrise.
