Freezing Rain Expected During Evening Commute
Snow to begin at 1 p.m., switching to rain from 4 to 7 p.m.
The temperatures are finally climbing out of the basement, but not far enough to prevent a little snow this afternoon, turning into freezing rain just in time to make for messy commute.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the afternoon and a Hazardous Weather Outlook in effect till 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Snow is expected to start falling in the middle of the afternoon, changing later in the day to sleet, then freezing rain. Drivers are urged to use extreme caution on their way home as roads are likely to be wet and slick.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a mix of snow and freezing rain to continue through the evening, coming to an end around midnight. Temperatures will not plummet the way they did last week, however, hovering in the low- to mid-30s through the night.
