This sure has been a kooky weather day for our region. Higher elevations saw freezing rain and power outages; mid-level elevations had a lot of sleet; valley locations saw a lot of rain; there was a thunderstorm (!) south of Springfield that produced quarter-sized hail. You can now see this one was a hard one to nail down.
And we still have a mess on our hands through tomorrow morning. The bulk of the rain/sleet/snow has passed to our east, but drizzle and intermittent showers will persist throughout the night. Ice will continue to accumulate--again--depending on your elevation. The temperature should stay relatively flat throughout the night so what you see right now is what you'll get.
The morning commute on Tuesday will likely be slow again. Hopefully, things will get cleaned up for New Year's Eve festivities. But black ice could be a problem for any late night revelers trying to get home so we suggest you pack a travel bag, ditch the keys, and just sleep over wherever you may be reveling.
We are eyeing a potential storm for Wednesday, January 8.
