Local weather forecast

The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Special Weather Statement. The threat of black ice continues Wednesday morning. Temperatures have fallen below freezing across the region.

Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while driving, especially when crossing bridges and overpasses and on highway ramps. Pedestrians are urged to use extreme caution while walking, especially on untreated surfaces. Patchy fog, some locally dense, will cause reduced visibility in some areas.
Today: Mostly sunny. High near 47. Wednesday night, a slight chance of rain and snow showers before 10 p.m., then a slight chance of snow showers between 10 p.m. and midnight. Mostly cloudy. Low around 27. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.
