 .DISCUSSION...
 Another wave of precipitation moves into the area this afternoon, 
 with rain changing to snow area wide by later this evening as colder 
 temperatures continue to filter into the region. While daytime snow 
 accumulation will be limited by the warm ground, slick spots could 
 develop on roads tonight as temperatures fall into the 20s. The 
 chance for snow showers continues on Tuesday courtesy of moisture 
 from the Great Lakes. A hard freeze is expected tonight and Tuesday 
 night, which will be dangerous to any plants that have already 
 started growing.
