Discussion
A cold, dry air mass is in place across the region as we begin a new work week and there is moisture headed in this direction from a low pressure system moving towards the Ohio Valley. The dense cold, dry air mass will inhibit the northeast movement of this moisture and precipitation is likely to hold off here until early Tuesday. Occasional snow is likely on Tuesday and it can linger through tomorrow night at varying rates and it will mix with sleet and/or freezing rain at times. Accumulations of anywhere from a coating to a couple of inches are possible during this event and, given the cold ground conditions, there can be slick spots on untreated surfaces from early tomorrow into early Wednesday.
