A wintry mix this morning lingers up until mid-day before warmer temperatures move in for the afternoon helping to transition ice into a cold rain. Colder temperatures are here to stay though as we’ll see well below average temperatures for much of the week ahead.

Hence, a First Alert has been issued for both days. Morning lows starting Monday through the rest of the week will be freezing, quite literally. Now is the time to winterize your home and make a plan to bring plants and pets indoors.

The potential for a glaze of ice on Sunday morning through lunch time is the reason for concern with travel and a power outage potential.

The Governor declared a state of emergency on Friday ahead of the winter storm headed our way.
