“Mixed precipitation is expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations of a coating up to an inch, and light glaze of ice accumulation expected. Plan on slippery road conditions. Precipitation is expected to begin as snow and sleet between 10 and 11 AM. Precipitation will change to freezing rain around noon, then rain after 2 PM.
