The forecast calls for snow, sleet and freezing rain. The area should see snow accumulations of just one to two inches, along with a trace of ice, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow is expected to overspread the area Tuesday before mixing with sleet before changing freezing rain around midnight. By early Wednesday morning it will be all rain.

Officials warn untreated roads will become snow and ice covered resulting in slippery travel Tuesday night and overnight into Wednesday.
