Syracuse, N.Y. — A winter storm forecast to hit Central New York this weekend will bring a wet and messy mix of precipitation.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain will cover much of Central New York Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Mostly snow is expected but sleet, freezing rain and rain are all likely, the weather service said.
The storm will hit the region around Sunday afternoon and last until Monday morning, the weather service said.
Lake-effect snow could continue into Monday night but additional accumulation is unlikely, they said. Most of the region will see between 2 and 4 inches of snowfall. Some areas will see as much as 6 inches while others will see as little as 1 inch.
The mix of precipitation could impact travel Sunday and Monday, the weather service said.
