Some Sleet In The Area

Some patches of sleet mixed with very light rain is now moving across the area.  Temperatures are well above freezing, so the ice pellets are melting on impact.  Most of the precipitation will end later this afternoon.

Light Rain, Or Mix Possible This Morning

The air is slowing saturating this morning, so we will eventually see isolated light rain showers develop across the region. Temperatures are still cold enough to support a few snow flakes mixed in with the rain. Skies will quickly clear by late afternoon and evening as the storm system quickly exits.

Clouds & Light Precip on Friday

A weak upper storm system will bring enough lift to the region to create extensive cloud cover and areas of light precipitation on Friday. Enough cold air will be in place initially to produce a few sleet pellets and snow flakes mixing with the light rain, especially north of I-64 and west of I-95. The storm system will move quickly to the east Friday night resulting in a dry start to the weekend.
