Snow will arrive tonight and could create some slick spots for drivers.
With borderline temperatures, most of it will melt on our roadways. However, as snowfall rates pick up after sunrise we may find some slick spots developing on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces where the surface temperatures stay closer to freezing.
Overall, this will be more of a “wet” snow that compacts easily when shoveled.
Snowfall rates will decrease into the afternoon and precipitation will become more “showery” instead of constant as rain mixes in and highs climb into the middle 30s.
A stronger push of colder air will filter in Friday night, changing the remaining precipitation back to snow.
By this time, roads should be mainly wet as crews will be out-treating roads.
However, as we fall below freezing we could find a few pockets of re-freeze on the roads for the nighttime hours.
Total snowfall accumulations of up to 1″ are likely for the entire area, and we could squeeze out a few 2″ reports to the north of I-70 where there may be less of a mixed bag of precipitation.
