A small change in temperature profiles could change whether the predominant precipitation is a wet snow, sleet or freezing rain within the advisory area. Outside the advisory area, precipitation is expected to be rain with a brief period of wintry mix at the start possible before changing over to rain. Another coordination message issued tomorrow morning will update any change to the current headlines regarding snowfall and ice amounts and what the predominant form of precipitation will be in the advisory area.
