Special Weather Statement Statement as of 10:33 am EST on January 5, 2005
... A wintry mix of precipitation expected this afternoon through Thursday morning...
A warm front will remain draped in a west to east fashion across the Ohio Valley to the mid Atlantic states through Thursday. A wave of low pressure will ride along the front to our south this afternoon. At the same time... cold Canadian high pressure continue to build in from the north. A second wave of low pressure will develop to our south tonight into Thursday... likely bringing a second batch of precipitation to the region.
As this colder air gets filtered in from the north... the mixture of rain... snow and sleet will change over to predominately snow and sleet as the afternoon progresses. A coating to an inch of snow and sleet could accumulate by the time rush hour is over this evening.
Tonight will likely see a mixture of snow and sleet fall across the region with accumulations of around 2 inches anticipated toward morning. Some freezing rain will mix in later on tonight... which could result in a light coating of ice on all surfaces toward morning. This will cause very slippery travel for Thursday morning's rush hour. Warmer air works in as the morning progresses... which will allow for a transition to plain rain toward afternoon.
