Temperatures will fall into the 20s in Northern Westchester, causing water from the rain and snow melt to refreeze.

This can results in hazardous travel and walking conditions across Northern Westchester County. Residents should exercise caution on untreated surfaces, especially on sidewalks, parking lots and driveways. Puddles of water have formed on top of ice after rain fell most of Wednesday.

Rain and fog will continue Wednesday evening. The dangers of black ice forming will continue after midnight and into Thursday morning.

There is a chance of continued sprinkles on Thursday, with rain likely by evening. The daytime high will be in the mid-40s, causing more melting.

Showers are likely Friday, with fog before 9 a.m. and thunderstorms possible after 9 a.m. The high will be in the upper 40s or low 50s.
