First Alert Weather: A few flakes Wednesday and Yellow Alert on Thursday

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – We’re tracking some pesky lake effect snow showers Wednesday with light accumulations. The flakes end late afternoon, transitioning to quiet and cold weather on Monday afternoon into tonight.

Yellow Alert on Thursday as a round of slippery wet snow, sleet, and freezing rain arrives around 5 a.m. on Thursday. Mixed precip will last a few hours during the morning commute and end by midday.

The latest data suggests the wet snow will mix with sleet and stay mainly a sleet/snow combo for metro Rochester with a slushy inch or two before ending late morning. Areas south of Rochester in the Finger Lakes will see a better chance for some freezing rain with a glaze likely and slick travel possible for the morning commute.

After a break on Friday, we will be tracking another storm threat for the weekend. That system will have more moisture and may bring a bigger snow and sleet threat to the region from Saturday night into Sunday morning.
