Weather Advisory: Rain and Sleet Conditions with Cold Surface Layer

A weather phenomenon is occurring with rain and sleet reported at this location. While a layer of the atmosphere above is above freezing, melting the snow that falls aloft, the ground level remains below freezing due to cold northerly surface winds. This creates conditions ripe for freezing rain or sleet as the warm moisture hits the colder surface, potentially leading to hazardous conditions. Strong southwesterly winds may help maintain the warmer air aloft, but the cold surface layer poses risks.
