Discussion
There can be a bit of freezing rain and/or snow this morning with little, if any, in the way of additional accumulations. Low pressure pushes off to our northeast and very cold air will flow into the area on its backside. Temperatures later tonight could drop to the teens with the influx of Arctic air and fresh snow cover. Another accumulating snow event is on tap for the end of the work week and this storm system will be followed by another Arctic blast for the upcoming weekend.
