Update for Friday: Possible Freezing Rain

The sequence of events for Friday's precipitation has changed slightly. Weather experts have pushed the storm back, which means the bulk of the precipitation will fall later in the morning and into the afternoon and evening.

Even with this later start to the liquid precipitation, we still could see freezing rain. If the surface temps stay around or below freezing, we could see a longer period of freezing rain. An advisory may need to be posted for the region, especially to the north. Unfortunately, the timing of this weathermaker does not favor a delay of any kind, but the commute home on Friday afternoon could be dicey.

There's definitely some talk around the meteorological water cooler about precipitation Sunday night into Monday. Waves of low pressure will move up a frontal boundary Sunday and Monday. The timing of the waves and the position of the boundary will determine our weather. It's much too early to make a firm prediction on this one--too many variables at the moment. We'll monitor it over the weekend if the precipitation will be in any way frozen and of course keep you up-to-date.
