Ice to rain

First off, sorry about not posting yesterday.  I was quite lazy.

If you have ventured outside already this morning, you know it is slippery out there.  We are dealing with a wintry mix across much of New England.  Southern New England should be transitioning soon, by say 11AM or Noon.  Temperatures will slowly climb up to above freezing this morning, then should shoot up to the low 40s in Southern New England.

A tricker situation in Central New England.  Some spots will change over to rain, others will stay a mix of sleet and freezing rain.  This zone will be between Laconia and Concord.  North of Laconia/Tilton area, temperatures at the surface will stay cold so wintry mix or snow is expected to continue throughout the day.  Look for 3-6 inches in Northern New England.

The precipitation will start to taper off late this afternoon, starting in the south and then shutting off gradually toward the northeast.  Once the storm pulls away, we'll enjoy a few days of calm weather.  Temperatures will be relatively mild tomorrow and Wednesday, then cooling off for Thursday and Friday.  Our next round of unsettled weather looks to arrive this weekend.

Also going on today, severe weather along the Appalachains and then later today in the Carolinas and Southeastern States.  Strong winds and hail are the primary threats but isolated tornadoes are a significant threat as well.  We are getting closer to severe weather season, so days like today will becoming more common over the next couple of months.

Thanks for reading!
