Synopsis:
Low pressure moving through the area overnight will result in periods of rain and temperatures rising above freezing in most areas. Where temperatures remain below 32º-far Northwestern sections, freezing rain will occur (1st map above). Treacherous travel is expected on untreated surfaces. The rain will end well before sunrise tomorrow.
Mild conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday with high pressure sitting over the Southeast. Wednesday will be windy. Both days will feature plenty of sun.
The forecast gets less confident heading into the weekend. There will be two weak storms on the map. The potential for a brush of light snow is possible with both systems. Please check back to JMW as more computer guidance comes in .
Stay tuned.
