Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services is alerting residents to the possibility of slippery road conditions as rain is expected to move into the region overnight and continue into Friday.

As colder air moves into the area, rain could mix with snow late Thursday night into Friday morning. While significant snowfall is not expected, temperatures hovering near the freezing mark could create hazardous driving conditions, particularly during the overnight hours and Friday morning commute.

Motorists are urged to use caution, as even a light wintry mix can make roadways slippery, especially on untreated surfaces, bridges, and overpasses.

Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services encourages drivers to take the following precautions:

  • Reduce speed and allow extra distance between vehicles.
  • Use caution when traveling over bridges and overpasses.
  • Allow additional time for your morning commute.
  • Be alert for changing road conditions, particularly on untreated roadways.

Officials remind residents that even without measurable snowfall, temperatures near freezing can create slick spots and potentially dangerous driving conditions.

Drivers are encouraged to stay alert, plan ahead, and use extra caution when traveling overnight and Friday morning.
