A slick start to 2021, freezing rain Friday

The end of 2020 is cold and quiet, the forecast is fair Thursday afternoon through midnight. The start of 2021 could be icy. All focus is on the freezing rain threat Friday. There's been a significant slowdown in the arrival of rain and temperatures look to stay colder, longer. In summary the ice threat is more significant for travel Friday because freezing rain fall during the daylight hours. The greatest travel risk is from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. A wintry mix of sleet and rain is also possible. The afternoon isn't much better, it's just not as icy with a cold (wet) rain. The weekend and early next week are uneventful.

New Year's Day: Freezing rain, then rain. High 36.
