Unfortunately, the dreaded flash freeze is looking very possible this morning. The NWS has issued several advisories including Wind Chill and High Wind for the immediate metro areas, and even Gale and Freezing Spray Warnings for the Bay. Just an absolute incredible weather day about to transpire.
Rain has redeveloped and will continue the next couple of hours ahead of the cold front. The leading edge of arctic air will arrive along the 95 corridor between 9 and 10AM causing any precip to change to freezing rain, sleet, or snow, and temperatures will quickly fall below freezing. It can not be stressed enough that all travel should be avoided. Roads could deteriorate very quickly and some areas may become a literal sheet of ice.
Behind the front is some of the coldest air we have seen since 2019, and it will stick around through early next week. Stay safe today and layer up!
