...WATCH OUT FOR ICY SPOTS ESPECIALLY WHERE THERE IS STANDING WATER 
AND PUDDLES FROM THE OVERNIGHT RAIN...

ALL WINTER WEATHER WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.
ENOUGH WARM AIR WAS PULLED UP AHEAD OF THE STORM SYSTEM TO PROVIDE 
MOST OF THE LOWLANDS WITH JUST WET CONDITIONS...WHILE IN THE 
MOUNTAINS A MIXED BAG HAS RESULTED IN SOME SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND 
LITTLE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. AT 5 AM MOST OF THE ORGANIZED 
PRECIPITATION HAS EXITED THE REGION...BUT LINGERING SNOW AND RAIN 
SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND SOME FLURRIES ELSEWHERE CONTINUE. 
TEMPERATURES IN MOST AREAS HAVE FALLEN BELOW FREEZING BY 5 AM WITH 
VERY BRISK WESTERLY WINDS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL HELP DRY OUT THE 
ROADS QUICKLY...BUT MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE CAUTION EARLY 
THIS MORNING FOR LINGERING ICY SPOTS. TEMPERATURES AT 5 AM RANGED 
FROM THE 20S OVER WESTERN PORTIONS TO THE 30S IN SOME EASTERN PARTS. 

THE EARLY MORNING SURFACE WEATHER MAP SHOWED A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM 
CENTERED OVER WESTERN NEW YORK STATE WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING 
SOUTHWARD JUST EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS. LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS 
DOMINATING THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PART OF THE NATION WERE CENTERED 
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON. 
LINGERING FLURRIES IN THE LOWLANDS AND SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN THE 
MOUNTAINS WILL END THIS AFTERNOON...WITH INCREASING SUNSHINE DURING 
THE DAY. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING EVERYWHERE 
EARLY THIS MORNING...AND REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FOR THE REST OF THE 
DAY. THE SKY WILL CLEAR TONIGHT...WITH DIMINISHING WINDS AND VERY 
COLD TEMPERATURES.

THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE REGION 
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

A NEW COLD FRONT WILL ROLL THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY 
SUNDAY...SETTING UP A COLD UNSTABLE PATTERN SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WITH 
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. OF 
COURSE...THE MAIN SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF 
WEST VIRGINIA WHERE THERE WILL LIKELY BE MINOR ACCUMULATIONS.
