LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF
THE PRECIPITATION...A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND LIGHT SNOW HAS

RELATIVELY DRY ATMOSPHERE. AS MOISTURE WAS INTRODUCED...EVAPORATION
OCCURRED WHICH COOLED THE AIR ALOFT. THE COOLING BROUGHT LIGHT

INTO THE MID AND UPPER 30S. WITH READINGS ABOVE FREEZING...NO
PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED ON AREA ROADWAYS. ALSO...LITTLE OR NO SNOW
ACCUMULATION IS IN THE FORECAST.

SNOW AND SLEET MAY MIX WITH RAIN FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON
UNTIL THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES SATURATED. ONCE SATURATION OCCURS...
MAINLY RAIN IS EXPECTED.
