Ice build-up on some surfaces.
Timing:
Wednesday evening.
Discussion:
An approaching low pressure system is expected to bring snow, ice pellets, rain and freezing rain to the area. Precipitation may begin as snow or ice pellets before transitioning to freezing rain. Freezing rain is expected to transition to rain overnight.
Ice build-up is expected to be variable as the ground is still relatively warm, limiting ice build-up. The most hours of freezing rain are expected over areas of higher terrain.
