Sleet, snow, rain, ice, flooding

It's like some sort of dangerous ice kingdom out there.

Everything from stairs, to cars, to banisters are covered in a thin, slick layer of ice. Roads too, so be careful this morning during the commute. And there's something else to look out for: with the National Weather Service forecasting a high temperature near 50 degrees, the snow is already melting and there are likely be floods on the way.

NWS has already issued a flood warning with 1 to 2 1/2 inches of rain expected through the afternoon, adding to melting snow, leading to runoff and slush-blocked drains.

The rain is expected to continue into the night, when the temperature drops to about 30 degrees.

More precipitation tomorrow -- some snow, some sleet -- mostly in the early morning. Clouds will persist during the, clearing in the afternoon when the temperature rises to the mid 30s and north winds reaching about 25 mph.
