The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisory for three counties in the Finger Lakes region. Other parts of the region, including counties in the Southern Tier are under flood watches.
The Winter Weather Advisory is active for Ontario and Wayne counties. Forecasters say mixed precipitation is expected, with total snow accumulations of less than one inch.
The NWS says between midnight and noon rain will transition to an icy mix from west to east. Periods of mainly sleet and freezing rain will result in slippery roads and limited visibilities. Slow down and use caution while driving.
Heavy rain is falling in the Southern Tier. Flood warnings are active for parts of the Southern Tier.

Rain transitions to a mix briefly, then to snow across western NY this evening. Changeover will then put the "brakes" on from the Genesee Valley eastward, with the transition there not occurring until Christmas Day. Fresh snow will only fall west of the Genesee Valley tonight. pic.twitter.com/skzXZ2sub8
