As Arctic air pours into the Mid-Atlantic region, the lingering rain activity will change over to sleet and then snow later this afternoon from northwest-to-southeast and a snow shower threat will continue right into the overnight hours. Temperatures should keep dropping through the 30’s during the rest of the afternoon and will bottom out well below freezing late tonight so there may be some icing that forms on roadways rather quickly this evening as temperatures drop sharply. There is a chance for minor snow accumulations from later this afternoon through late tonight as a secondary low pressure system area rides up the east coast.
