inch will be possible in some areas. Up to one quarter of an
inch of ice is possible as precipitation transitions to freezing
rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Cold surface temperatures will allow the
snow/sleet and freezing rain to cause some slick spots on area
roadways, especially elevated surfaces such as bridges and
overpasses. Some areas will warm above freezing during the day
Wednesday, while other locations will remain at or below
freezing. Areas that remain at or below freezing will likely see
the highest ice accruals.
