Winter Storm Warnings
March 10 2026
* WHAT...Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations around one
tenth of an inch.
* WHERE...Jefferson County. Freezing rain will be limited to the far
northern portion of the county in the Thousand Islands region.
* WHEN...From 2 AM to 11 AM EDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Slippery travel conditions are possible. The hazardous
conditions will impact the Wednesday morning commute.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by a combination of rain, snowmelt, and ice
jams is possible.
* WHERE...The southwest Adirondacks, the western Mohawk Valley, and
the Upper Hudson Valley.
* WHEN...From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Mild temperatures through tomorrow will allow snow on the
ground to continue to ripen and melt. Then, there will be
widespread rain Wednesday into Wednesday night. The
combination of runoff from snow melt and rainfall will result
in rising rivers that will likely cause ice to break up and
flow, potentially resulting in ice jams and associated
flooding. For more information on river forecasts, please
visit water.noaa.gov.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...A portion of central New York, including the following
counties, Jefferson and Lewis.
* WHEN...From Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff from snowmelt and rainfall may result
in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and
flood-prone locations. Ice jams will also be possible in areas
where significant ice remains.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Between an inch and an inch and a half of rain is expected
Wednesday through Wednesday night. This combined with warm
weather will result in snow melt, with a deep snow pack in
place across the Black River basin. This will cause rises on
the Black River, Moose River, Independence River, and Beaver
River as well as other tributaries. There is a risk of
flooding due to high flows or ice jams.
