PRECIPITATION SHOULD DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND PROBABLY CHANGE
BACK TO RAIN. THIS SNOW BAND WILL AFFECT TRAVEL ON INTERSTATE 80
AND POSSIBLY ALSO PARTS OF INTERSTATE 78. BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES
CAN ACCUMULATE SNOW SINCE THEY ARE NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. 
ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL AVERAGE 1 TO 3 INCHES.
 
BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL LEAVES ON THE TREES... OVER SOME OF THE
HIGHEST TERRAIN... SOME LIMBS MIGHT COME DOWN FROM THE WEIGHT OF

ELEVATIONS THROUGH THE EVENING RUSH. SOME BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES
MIGHT BECOME SLIPPERY AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN AROUND OR JUST BELOW
FREEZING TONIGHT.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW...SLEET...OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR
SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE
