A "significant winter storm" will affect parts of southern New England late tonight and tomorrow, the National Weather Service said in a winter weather advisory issued shortly after 11 a.m.

The weather advisory -- for a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain -- is in force from 11 p.m. tonight until 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Snow is in the forecast for late this evening, and warmer air will turn it to a mix of sleet and freezing rain shortly after midnight.

Accumulation of snow and sleet combined will be less than one inch.

But "occasionally difficult travel" will happen between midnight and 7 a.m. tomorrow. Be prepared for potentially icy surfaces tomorrow morning.

The weather service said enough warm air should arrive between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. tomorrow for things to turn to rain.
