First Alert Weather: Yellow Alert is over as temperatures rise above freezing

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Yellow Alert is now over as the Thursday morning snow, sleet, and freezing rain has tapered to a little drizzle.

Temperatures will continue to climb above freezing into the afternoon. This will end the threat of any snow and ice accumulations for Thursday. Skies will remain cloudy with some gusty winds later into Thursday night.

A cold front will arrive and bring a drop in temperatures for Friday with a few local lake effect snow showers near Lake Ontario and over northeast Wayne County.

Looking ahead to the weekend, a decent snow-maker is possible heading into Saturday night and Sunday morning. This storm has the potential to bring widespread plowable snow to the region. During the day on Sunday some lake effect snow looks likely with additional accumulations around Rochester.
