...A PERIOD OF SNOW AND SLEET TO AFFECT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

AN AREA OF MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THE COLD AIR CURRENTLY IN PLACE IS ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN FOR A WHILE RESULTING IN SNOW DEVELOPING. HOWEVER AS SOME MILDER AIR ARRIVES ABOVE THE SURFACE, THE SNOW WILL MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO SLEET TOWARD EVENING, STARTING FIRST FROM PHILADELPHIA ON SOUTH AND EAST AND THEN SPREADING NORTHWARD. AS SOME MILDER AIR GRADUALLY WORKS ITS WAY IN THIS EVENING, SNOW AND SLEET IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO RAIN INLAND WITH TIME. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME FREEZING RAIN OCCURS FOR A BRIEF TIME DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD. SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING SHOULD BE A COATING TO AN INCH. IF TRAVELING THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING, BE PREPARED FOR DEVELOPING SLIPPERY CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED SURFACES AND CHANGING VISIBILITIES. REMEMBER, BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES TEND TO BECOME SLIPPERY FIRST DURING WINTRY PRECIPITATION.
