Winter Weather Advisory


... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday.

* An area of snow will continue to move eastward during the
evening hours. Total snowfall for this event will likely be in
the 1 to 2 inch range. Locally up 3 inches of snow may occur
north of the Ohio River.

The snow will taper off... and likely change over to freezing
drizzle over southeast Missouri... parts of southern Illinois and
western Kentucky late this evening. This freezing drizzle or
light freezing rain will eventually take the place of snow over
all areas by sunrise. Over western Kentucky south of the western
Kentucky Parkway... the snow will change to freezing drizzle and
then light rain or drizzle by morning.

* Travel conditions across the area will likely deteriorate from
west to east. Those planning to travel... especially this
evening into the overnight hours... should be prepared for
slippery conditions and reduced visibility... especially on
untreated and elevated roadways. Allow extra time to reach your
destination. The mixture of snow and freezing drizzle may make
travel difficult during the morning commute.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or
freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for
slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
