...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT...

LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS OVERSPREADING THE REGION THIS MORNING AND 
WILL FALL AS A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET AND RAIN AT THE START. THE 
HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SEE THE MOST SNOW. ACCUMULATIONS 
ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND AN INCH OR LESS AND MAINLY 
CONFINED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SINCE TEMPERATURES ARE HOVERING 
AROUND FREEZING AT THE GROUND AND NEAR OR ABOVE FREEZING IN THE 
LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION COULD 
STILL FALL AS FREEZING RAIN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE DURING THE 
TRANSITION TO JUST PLAIN RAIN DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THIS MORNING. 

ALTHOUGH ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE  
MOTORISTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SLIPPERY ROADS EARLY 
THIS MORNING AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR TRAVELING ESPECIALLY ON 
BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. WHILE THE RECENT WARM TEMPERATURES MAY HELP 
ROAD SURFACES IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND...BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES DO 
NOT HAVE THE SAME LUXURY. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION WHILE 
APPROACHING AND CROSSING THEM. 

TEMPERATURES AT THE GROUND SHOULD RISE ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE 
FIRST HALF OF THE MORNING AND END THE THREAT OF THE WINTRY MIX...AS 
ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE MORNING WOULD FALL ON
SURFACES WITH  ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES. 

STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WITH NOAA WEATHER 
RADIO...OR COMMERCIAL RADIO OR TV...FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
