Icy Start, Tricky Commutes, and a Gradual Warm-Up Ahead
If you’re stepping outside or planning to travel over the next couple of days, this is one of those stretches where extra caution is going to be needed. A First Alert Weather Day has been issued as icy conditions are expected to linger into early Monday, and then return again late Monday night into Tuesday. The main concern here is freezing drizzle and freezing rain, which may not look dramatic, but can quietly create very slick roads, sidewalks, and parking lots.
Through the early hours of Monday morning, a chance of freezing drizzle is in place across the region. Skies are expected to stay mostly cloudy, while temperatures are slowly nudged upward, hovering in the low to mid-20s. Even with slightly rising temperatures, untreated surfaces could still be icy, especially before sunrise. It’s the kind of weather where everything looks fine until you take that first step or hit a shaded stretch of road.

As Monday moves along, conditions are expected to improve somewhat. Cloud cover will stick around, but the day should feel a bit milder, with afternoon highs climbing into the low 30s. While this may help melt some ice during the day, it’s not a complete break from winter trouble. Another First Alert Weather Day has already been issued for late Monday night into Tuesday, and this second round could be more impactful.
That next system is expected to bring freezing rain and a wintry mix back into the area. Ice accumulation is forecast in the range of one-tenth to a quarter of an inch, with some localized spots possibly seeing even more. That amount of ice is enough to make travel hazardous, particularly during the Tuesday morning commute. Roads could remain slick well into Tuesday afternoon, even as temperatures rise into the low to mid-30s.
Looking beyond Tuesday, the pattern does begin to calm down. Wednesday is expected to stay mostly cloudy, with highs in the mid-30s. Thursday may offer a few breaks in the clouds, along with some sunshine and temperatures pushing toward the upper 30s. By Friday, another weather system could bring snow showers back into the forecast, with a winter storm tracking south and east of the region. This could mean a chance of snow Friday night into Saturday morning, along with breezy conditions.
Overall, this is a classic mid-winter stretch: ice now, a brief warm-up, and more snow chances ahead. Staying weather-aware and allowing extra time for travel will go a long way in getting through the next few days safely.
