Our next system will enter from the southwest bringing mostly a cold rain on Sunday. A few areas (high elevations primarily) will see a light wintry mix during the morning hours. This is pretty much the same setup we have seen all winter.

A Winter Weather Advisory will go into effect at 4 a.m. Sunday and last until 4 p.m. Around a tenth of an inch of ice from freezing rain is possible across the higher elevations. Difficult travel conditions are possible, especially across elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses.
