A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from midnight tonight
to 4 PM CDT Sunday.
A strong upper level storm system will continue to push an Arctic
cold front across the region this afternoon and evening.
Temperatures are forecast to fall into the 30s tonight. Areas of
snow will develop within the cold sector behind the front this
evening over the advisory area. Snowfall is expected to increase
in coverage and intensity late tonight into Sunday morning.
Total snowfall accumulations of up to four inches will be
possible. The significant snowfall will diminish Sunday
afternoon... as this storm system begins to drift east away from
the region.
Temperatures are expected to remain slightly above freezing
tonight and Sunday as the snow moves across the area. Thus...
snowfall accumulations will occur mainly on elevated and grassy
surfaces. However... patchy ice may develop on some bridges...
overpasses... and secondary roadways... where temperatures fall to
or below freezing late Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities as winds increase to over
20 mph... and use caution while driving.
