Morning Light Mix, Drizzle/Light Rain Before Part 2



Temperatures this evening fell back into the upper twenties and lower thirties across the region. As precipitation approaches, some sleet will develop...even with some brief wet snow. The sleet could be mixed with rain. The rain may freeze on surfaces causing a very light, but hazardous coating of ice. Temperatures will rise as the column moistens, but it will only be in Southeastern New Jersey where they will rise above freezing before the rain begins. Eventually, the wintry mix will change to light rain or drizzle somewhere between 9:00 a.m. and Noon.

The morning commute will be sloppy. However, this is a nuisance compared to what will likely transpire for the evening commute into the night. The liquid to work with will generally be under 0.25” of an inch. Snow and sleet without a change to any rain would occur further north and west.
