Winter Weather Advisory ,,,, But.........

The Nat'l Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the regio overnight into Tuesday morning. Folks, I just don't think this is going to be much of a problem for the area though ! Surface temps will stay well above freezing overnight into tomorrow morning so any precip that does fall will likely not cause any icing on area roadways.
We still like a band of patchy light rain developing late tonight as low level temps (H95 and below) stay above critical. This light rain will gradually change to wet snow as the column cools from top to bottom - and this is expected to occur around dawn but even then, sfc temps will still be in the mid 30s. As a result, the morning commute should be in pretty good shape. The light snow is expected to taper to flurries by mid/late morning with only minor grassy accumulations (at best) occurring.
Roadways will dry throughout the day as winds kick in from the west/northwest and as dewpts fall off the table. So........ even though temperatures are expected to fall into the 20s for the afternoon, it still looks like the roads will stay in pretty good shape and mainly free of any snow and ice.
Still expecting true arctic air to invade beginning Wednesday night and sticking around through Friday.

Have a good night all,

Jay
