...TWO SHOTS OF HEAVIER SNOW FOR THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT...

SNOW IS OVERSPREADING CAROLINE AND TALBOT COUNTIES IN MARYLAND AND
SUSSEX COUNTY IN DELAWARE. THIS FIRST BAND SHOULD PRODUCE A GRASSY
AREA COATING, BUT ROADWAYS SHOULD REMAIN WET AS TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING INTO THE START OF THE EVENING COMMUTE.

THEN THE SECOND BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION
DURING THE EARLY EVENING. THIS BAND COULD PRODUCE ACCUMULATIONS
OF HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH WITH A BETTER CHANCE OF STICKING ON
ROADWAYS, ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES AND LESS TRAVELED
ROADWAYS.

THE ACCUMULATING PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE OVER BY ABOUT MIDNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING, SO ANY
STANDING WATER OR SLUSHY SNOW WILL FREEZE BY MORNING. 

MOTORISTS TRAVELING THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE ALERT
FOR DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS.
