Wintry mix of snow, ice keeps northern states under winter weather alerts

01:40

Rain and snow depart Northeast

Northern New England and far north New York continue under winter weather advisories until very early Thursday morning. Rain is blanketing southern areas but clearing out. FOX Weather tracks the storm.

After a wintry mix of freezing rain and snow struck the Midwest on Tuesday, the system is now on the move, and its winter weather impacts are being seen in the Northeast and New England.

The National Weather Service said that the resurgence of warm air and moisture pushing north and eastward over retreating cold air is leading to areas of freezing rain in the Northeast and New England. Southern states have all rain. Winter weather alerts are in effect through early Thursday for northern New England.

The cold air, however, may still be deep enough that some accumulating snow could fall as well, especially in New York and New England.

Accumulations, though, won't amount to much. Most areas that do see snow will likely pick up less than an inch, but areas of New York state, as well as northern New England, could pick up a few inches of snow.

Snow isn’t the only concern in the region, however.

The NWS said that in areas where freezing rain will fall, as much as 0.10 inches of ice accretion is possible.

"The moisture will continue to stream in," FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan said. "And, we hate to do this to you, but by Wednesday and Thursday, the rain continues."

Most areas will see up to an inch of rain, but some areas could see locally higher rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches across portions of Pennsylvania, New York and southern Connecticut.
