Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain Headed Our Way

Goodbye moderate weather, a nasty mix will move into the area tonight.

 

The Wednesday morning commute could be a slippery one based on the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, which is calling for a "light chance" of rain and snow before 1 a.m. Wednesday.

That chance of precipation will ratchet up to 80-90 percent overnight, with the rain changing to sleet and then snow by morning. Temperatures will fall to a low of 31 and there will a light northeast wind.
