...Light freezing precipitation possible between 3am and 9am...
Areas of light precipitation will develop across the region after
3am. With temperatures initially below the freezing mark and cold
ground temperatures, precipitation will start out as light
freezing drizzle or light snow. This may lead to slick spots on
roadways, which may impact the morning commute. South winds will
help temperatures slowly rise overnight to above freezing early
Wednesday morning, changing precipitation over to rain and
improving any travel issues.
Allow extra time to reach your destination, and leave plenty of
distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
