Precipitation is expected to reach the area around mid-morning. The determining factor today will be the temperature. Variation by one or two degrees will determine whether we only see rain, or freezing rain.
Travel will likely be affected as bridges and overpasses will ice over. Additionally, trees and power lines are susceptible to freezing rain accumulation.
If you've not done so already:
- Top off fuel tanks in your vehicles
- Keep cell phones charged
- Check and resupply food & water for your family
