A Little Bit of Snow For Some This Morning...

Precipitation over the region early this morning will be a wintry mixture for some. South and east of the city, you can expect just rain...but areas north and west have seen light snow during the very early morning hours and that is likely to continue through the morning drive. In the metro, we're likely to see a mixture of light rain, sleet and wet snow. As daylight takes over, even though the sky is overcast, the sun does have an impact. And it's a strong March sun, so the lower layers will warm enough for the precipitation to switch to rain where there has been some snow early on. With temperatures mostly above the freezing mark, no accumulation is expected, although north of town a light coating is likely on cooler surfaces. Up in the Shenandoah Valley, some minor accumulation is likely as well.
