The National Weather Service in gray has issued a Winter Weather

Advisory for snow, sleet, and freezing rain which is in

effect from midnight Saturday night to midnight EST Sunday night.

* Hazard types... freezing rain... sleet... and snow.

* Accumulations... ice accumulation from one tenth to one quarter

inch along with 1 to 5 inches of snow.

 

* Timing... precipitation begins early Sunday morning as light snow

or sleet. Precipitation will transition to freezing rain through

the morning before changing back to snow Sunday afternoon and

evening.

* Impacts... freezing rain will cause a coating of ice on cold

surfaces like roads and walkways. This will make for icy travel

conditions. Snow accumulating on top of the ice coating could

make the ice much more difficult to see and more dangerous.

* Winds... northeast 5 to 10 mph.

* Temperatures... in the upper 20s.

 

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or

freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for

slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while

driving.
