Eastern Allegany
A winter storm warning remains in effect until 9 am est wednesday.
Low pressure over the Tennessee valley will track north into the great lakes by Wednesday. A surge of moisture combined with just enough cold air near the surface will bring a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain today into early Wednesday morning.
Areas of light rain and sleet will be most common early this morning, before precipitation becomes more widespread during the late morning. At the same time, temperatures near the surface will cool to or slightly below freezing late this morning. This will lead to a mix of sleet and freezing rain that will likely last through the overnight hours.
The greatest impact from freezing rain is expected to occur over elevations above 1000 feet, where a quarter inch of ice accumulation may occur through Wednesday morning.
A winter storm warning means significant amounts of ice are expected or occurring. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
