Discussion
An extended and significant winter weather event that began on Sunday night will continue today with a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain ultimately changing to plain rain as temperatures slowly climb above freezing. There can be some ice buildup on untreated surfaces and slick spots on the roadways. Winds will also become a factor today as they’ll noticeably increase in a generally easterly direction. A cold front will sweep through the region later tonight and there is a chance that any leftover precipitation could change to sleet and/or snow before winding down completely by early Wednesday.
