Discussion
An extended and significant winter weather event that began last night will continue into tomorrow, but there may be a lull in the precipitation during today’s mid-day and afternoon hours. Copious amounts of moisture will flow northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region later today and snow is likely to re-develop by late in the day or early tonight after the possible lull. Snow should continue into the overnight hours and then mix with or change to sleet and freezing rain. A wintry mix on Tuesday will then change to plain rain late as winds pick up and temperatures climb above freezing. New snow and ice accumulations between this morning and early tomorrow should be on the order of 2-5 inches and road conditions could be impacted right through early Tuesday. More frozen precipitation is possible late tomorrow night for a brief time as the storm winds down.
