Another round of wintry precipitation is possible on Thursday morning...

We are monitoring a developing weather situation for the pre-dawn and early morning hours of Thursday. Confidence in this situation is low to moderate, as we're only in the initial monitoring stages, but this situation does bear close watching as we move through the next few days.

At this time we expect periods of light freezing drizzle, light freezing rain and/or sleet are possible during the pre-dawn and early morning hours on Thursday. The precipitation should begin between Midnight and 3am on Thursday morning, and continue through about 8-9am. Temperatures will be below freezing from Midnight to 9am, and are then expected to moderate above freezing starting around 9am on Thursday morning. Therefore, we would expect any wintry precipitation to change back to light rain starting around 9am on Thursday.

At this early stage of evaluating the situation, present indications suggest that patchy light ice and/or sleet accumulation is possible in at least some parts of the local area with this event. The best potential for such accumulation would likely be between 3am and 8am on Thursday morning, based on present temperature indications.



This is a developing weather situation with much uncertainty still involved. We will continue to monitor the latest trends and issue updates as conditions warrant.
