...Wintry Mix on Sunday...
.Light precipitation will overspread the area Sunday morning into
the afternoon from southwest to northeast. Temperatures aloft are
forecast to rise above freezing, but remain near or below
freezing at the surface due to the very cold ground temperatures.
This setup will result in light mixed precipitation in the form
of sleet, freezing rain, and possibly some snow. The greatest
concern is for icy conditions on untreated roads from light
freezing rain.
Early this morning, due to the frigid temperatures around
15 below zero, the light wind will bring wind chills down to
20 to 25 below zero at times. A wind chill advisory is in effect
until 9 AM.
