Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive cars through flooded areas. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov/hgx. The next statement will be issued this evening at 700 PM CDT.

A band of heavy snow stretches from the Mohawk Valley into the Lake George Saratoga Region and has been producing snowfall rates around 1 inch per hour. This band of heavy snow will continue in these areas until at least noon. Motorists should use extreme caution due to snow covered roadways and reduced visibilities within this band. Allow plenty of stopping distance and avoid breaking suddenly. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for these areas until 11 PM this evening.
