A developing system is moving into the Tri-State today, bringing the first flakes and pockets of wintry mix to the region this morning. For many locations, precipitation will begin as snow or a rain/snow mix before gradually transitioning to mainly rain by later this afternoon and evening as warmer air lifts north.
Areas along and north of Interstate 64 have the best chance of seeing light snow accumulation, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in place for that zone.
