Precipitation is likely tonight and tomorrow, generally between midnight and noon, as a cold front works its way southward through our area. This precipitation is going to start out as rain in some locations, but this rain will mix in with and switch over to snow as colder air works its way into the state. Some freezing rain is also possible tonight and tomorrow as surface temperatures will be around freezing. We are also going to have increasing clouds tonight and decreasing clouds from northeast to southwest later tomorrow.
Not much snow accumulation is expected with this cold front, but a quick coating to an inch or two of snow accumulation is possible in the lower elevations, and 1 to 5 inches of snow accumulation is possible in the mountains. Roads are going to be slick in some areas for the Monday morning commute due to the combination of freezing rain and light snow accumulations, so please be careful when driving and give yourself some extra time to get to where you need to go.
