A rather nasty-looking storm is due to get underway Saturday afternoon, with a mix of snow and ice in the Philly region before transitioning to a heavy rain, perhaps the most significant precipitation the region has received in several weeks.

As of writing a lot of us are seeing light snow/sleet falling with even some of our western counties transitioning fully over to sleet. Expect trends to continue to lead towards more sleet and eventually rain as we head into the next few hours.

Massachusetts residents should prepare for a messy weekend as a winter storm is expected to bring a mix of ice and rain along with strong winds.
