Rain, Rain, Go Away

10 TV: Freezing rain and sleet will overspread the region from the southwest late tonight into Tuesday. The precipitation may briefly start out mixing with snow. Freezing rain falling on very cold ground will result in ice accumulations of one to two tenths of an inch.

Temperatures will gradually warm Tuesday, but may remain below freezing or just at freezing through the afternoon. The ice accumulation will result in hazardous travel conditions, especially on untreated roads, bridges and overpasses.

Rain could freeze late Monday night into Tuesday morning. Untreated surfaces could become icy. Any ice accumulation is expected to be less than 1/4 inch, so a major ice storm is not expected.
