New York, NY – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. EST Friday for parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York, with freezing rain causing icy conditions on roads and sidewalks.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in New York, a light glaze of ice is expected across Eastern and Western Passaic, Western Bergen, Northern Fairfield, Northern New Haven, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Northern Westchester Counties. The icy conditions could impact the Friday morning commute, creating slippery roads, bridges, and sidewalks.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution, as black ice may not be visible but could cause hazardous travel conditions. Pedestrians should watch their first steps on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways, as icy surfaces increase the risk of falls.
The advisory is set to expire at 10 a.m., with temperatures expected to rise, helping to melt the ice. However, residents should remain cautious as untreated surfaces may stay slick into the late morning.
