A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST FRIDAY. SNOW WILL CHANGE QUICKLY TO A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN, AND THEN TO ALL RAIN BEFORE IT ENDS FRIDAY MORNING. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CAROLINAS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING EASTERN VIRGINIA AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, AND THEN PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE MOVING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING. PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM HAS STARTED AS SNOW. HOWEVER, AS WARMER AIR MAKES ITS WAY NORTH, SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH AND CHANGE OVER TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN IN THE EVENING. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO FALL AT NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A DEEP SNOW COVER RAISES THE CONCERN THAT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE WARM AIR TO REACH THE REGION, THUS A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AND UPPER PARTS OF THE ADVISORY AREA. 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED AT THE START, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED SURFACES, BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THEREFORE REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. SNOW MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN COULD MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS IN TIME FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE, AND WILL BECOME VERY HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT BEFORE WARMER AIR MOVES IN. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY, NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING IN ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW, SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES.
