Clouds have filled back in Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of our next clipper system that'll pull a warm front through the area later tonight. As it does, a period of light snow is expected to develop moving in from west to east overnight.
Dry air initially at the surface - surface dew points are in the single digits - will limit any snow from reaching the surface during the evening. But as more moisture eventually begins to saturate the atmosphere, we should start to see the light snow fall. Totals won't be much and most will remain under two inches. Look for the snow to move sometime after 9pm, although a few flurries could arrive a little before that.
The snow will be wrapping up before sunrise Wednesday but there could be a brief period of some freezing drizzle that mixes in before it comes to an end. Even though snowfall amounts will remain minor, when combined with the cold temperatures overnight, and ice/slush already on the roads from Sunday/Monday, we are going to see those slick and icy conditions continue into Wednesday morning. There was quite a bit of black ice Tuesday morning, and I anticipate there to be similar issues for tomorrow morning.
