For the Twin Ports vicinity:
-Patchy fog continues the rest of the Afternoon with rain developing.
-Temperatures aloft and at the surface will be cooling during the rest of the Afternoon so we should see the rain mix with sleet and snow and then turn to all snow probably after 5 PM This Evening the way it looks now.
-Snow This Evening and Overnight with total accumulations of about 2-3″ by daybreak.
-Road conditions will deteriorate later Today but more so Tonight as temperatures fall and snow starts to accumulate. Use extreme caution if you have travel plans later This Afternoon through Tuesday Morning.
