As we head out the door for our Christmas travels, we must be aware of what we are driving into.
Temperatures on the ground Vs. Above the ground.
Although temperatures are expected to rise into the lower 40s by Monday evening, the surface will remain cold enough for falling snow to stick or melting snow to form patches of black ice.
The region is expected to receive about an inch of snow Tuesday morning, as temperatures begin to warm up. This could result in snow falling initially and then quickly turning into rain.
Meteorologist Tyler Vangi emphasizes the possibility of freezing rain or black ice beginning early Tuesday morning on Christmas Eve.
