..SNOW SHOWERS MAY CAUSE SLICK ROADS OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING COMMUTE...

Rain will transition to snow through early tonight following the passage of a cold front, with the chance for isolated to scattered snow showers continuing through the remainder of the night into Thursday morning. While confidence in placement of snow showers remains low, brief, heavier snow showers in some areas could result in a light coating of up to half an inch, with isolated totals of up to one inch not out of the question. This combined with falling temperatures could lead to slick roads later tonight and for the Thursday morning commute in some areas.

Motorists should use caution on the roads tonight and through Thursday morning. Allow extra time to reach your destination. If you encounter slick roads, slow down and increase the distance between your vehicle and those that surround you.
