A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from noon today until
6 am CST Tuesday.
* An area of snow will begin to move into much of southeast
Missouri this afternoon. The snow may move east into southwest
Illinois and far western Kentucky during the mid or late
afternoon hours. There have already been reports from just west
of West Plains Missouri of 2 inches of snow on the ground.
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 Route 13
and along and north of the Ohio River. The snow will taper
off... and likely change over to freezing drizzle or plain drizzle
around midnight south of the western Kentucky Parkway. This
change over may take a little longer farther north. Though icing
amounts should be very light... this still could cause additional
travel issues.
* Travel conditions across the area will likely deteriorate from
west to east this evening. 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.
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.
