CLOUDY SKIES. THANKS TO THESE CLOUDY SKIES AND EAST-NORTHEASTERLY

BECOME INCREASINGLY EASTERLY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE

UP BETWEEN 6 AND 9PM THIS EVENING, WITH 100% CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS A WINTRY
MIX, WITH RAIN, SNOW, SLEET POSSIBLE AT TIMES, WITH A LOW CHANCE
FOR FREEZING RAIN. A TRANSITION TO PREDOMINANTLY RAIN IS EXPECTED
EARLY MONDAY MORNING, WITH RAIN ENDING BY APPROXIMATELY 9AM. DUE TO
THE PRECIPITATION ENDING AS RAIN AND TEMPERATURES WARMING ABOVE
