...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL EXPIRE AT 3 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON...

The threat for icy conditions from a wintry mix has largely ended
across the area. There are still a few localized locations near or
just below freezing, which could create some patchy slick spots the
rest of the afternoon. Warmer air moves in this evening that will
changeover any remaining wintry mix to rain.
