Old Man Winter just doesn’t seem to leave the DC area alone.

A wintry mix is expected to land on Wednesday night, bringing some gossip and freezing rain to the region and potentially makes roads difficult to drive when commuting to work or school on Thursday morning.

Wednesday will be cloudy, with temperatures hovering between the 30s and 40s, “10 to 15 degrees cooler” than Tuesday, said 7new’s first alarm senior meteorologist Brian van de Graaff and called the upcoming storm “A potpourri of winter weather. “

Later, after 7 p.m. of gossip, but it will occur overnight while many of us sleep. “

The concern comes then when everything goes into rain that goes in Thursday morning, which may create smooth conditions for the early commuting.

“So overnight, early Thursday, use extra caution on untreated surfaces,” said Van de Graaff.

A winter weather counseling will be in effect from 1 p.m. 21 Wednesday until noon on Thursday. There is also an Ice Storm warning for Father Western Maryland in the hillside.

“Our biggest concern for ICE will be our far northwest suburbs,” said Van de Graaff. “Once again, we all pass back to rain in the middle of the morning, and then think tomorrow, for the majority of the day, we will look good over the freezing temperatures.”
