For those driving into the office tomorrow, get ready for an icy commute.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for portions of the state north and west of Interstate-495, according to the National Weather Service.

A wintry mix of freezing rain and snow is expected through noon tomorrow, the agency tweeted.

WBZ Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher tweeted that “a light icy glaze” was possible for some interior areas.

As meteorologist Dave Epstein pointed out, it doesn’t take much to cause problems.

Channel 7 meteorologist Jeremy Reiner said that conditions should be better by the afternoon commute, with weather that is both warmer and dryer.
