...A MIXTURE OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET TO OVERSPREAD AREAS NORTH OF I-66/U.S. 50 ON FRIDAY... .As high pressure builds across Quebec, a steady stream of cold air will funnel southward into the Mid-Atlantic region. At the same time, moisture will overrun a frontal boundary across the central Appalachians down into the Carolinas. As milder air will settle above the sub-freezing surface layer, a wintry mix consisting of freezing rain and sleet is likely over portions of the area. Travel impacts are likely where the wintry mix falls. * WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations around one tenth of an inch, with closer to a trace to a few hundredths of an inch to the south of I-70. * WHERE...Portions of central, north-central, and northern Maryland and northern Virginia. * WHEN...From noon Friday to midnight EST Friday Night. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions will impact the Friday evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation is likely to overspread the area by midday Friday in the form of sleet or freezing rain.
