...A LIGHT WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE FRIDAY MORNING...

HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE REGION WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TONIGHT. 
AS IT DOES SO...A WARM FRONT AND POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE 
INTO THE AREA TOWARD DAYBREAK. ANY PRECIPITATION WHICH DOES FALL 
WILL BE LIGHT AND ONLY PERSIST THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY.

SKIES WILL BECOME CLOUDY TOWARD DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY AS THE CHANCE OF 
PRECIPITATION NEARS. BUT EARLY ON THIS EVENING, VERY LITTLE CLOUD 
COVER WILL BE SEEN OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO 
QUICKLY DROP AND SETTLE RIGHT NEAR FREEZING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE 
EARLY MORNING PRECIPITATION TO FALL IN THE FORM OF SNOW. IT IS ALSO 
POSSIBLE THAT THE PRECIPITATION COULD FALL IN THE FORM OF SLEET OR 
FREEZING RAIN AS A LAYER AS LIGHTER AND WARMER AIR RIDES OVER THE 
COLDER AND MORE HEAVY AIR CLOSE TO THE SURFACE. THE COLDEST 
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WILL NOT BE ACROSS THE 
EXPOSED HIGHER ELEVATIONS, BUT IN THE SHELTERED VALLEYS. IT WILL BE 
HERE WHERE THE GREATEST CHANCE OF FREEZING RAIN RESIDES.

ANY FREEZING PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT AND NOT 
WIDESPREAD. BUT WHERE IT DOES FALL, UNTREATED ROAD OR WALKING 
SURFACES WILL BE ICY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO EXPERIENCE SNOW, 
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE AN INCH OR LESS. IF YOU ARE HEADING OUT 
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, PROCEED WITH CAUTION. BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES 
WILL EXPERIENCE ICING FIRST. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE TO 
NEAR 40 DEGREES BY MIDDAY. THUS, AS THE PRECIPITATION ENDS, IT WILL 
BE IN THE FORM OF ALL RAIN.

STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE VIA NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR 
YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA SOURCE FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
