Wednesday is a First Alert Weather Day because of the possibility of slick and icy conditions on roads, sidewalks, and driveways. Bridges and overpasses will be especially susceptible to ice especially early in the day on Wednesday.
With many of us in the metro area still experiencing light freezing drizzle and a thin glaze of ice, we're increasingly concerned about light snow accumulating on top of the ice. Could be a messy afternoon commute as we watch snow showers develop. #cowx #4wx @ChrisCBS4 @DaveCBS4 pic.twitter.com/8yQkVFfYCQ
