While the total amounts of freezing rain will be light, even a small amount can cause travel problems with smooth roads. Today heights hover around the freezer with dry time this late evening in Thursday.

An active pattern continues

Low tonight dip until mid -20s with a few dry days to follow. Another option for a winter mix will return Saturday with a bit of cooling next week. When we go to the end of the week and finish the storm of the day, we are zero-in and focus on weekend humidity chance. Highs cool from the top 20s to low 30s to the low to the mid -20s in the middle of next week. Not just a cooling next week, but a potential for another round of winter rainfall, so stay tuned!
