... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM Friday to 9 am CST Saturday...
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snowfall... which is in effect from 6 PM Friday to 9 am CST Saturday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.
Morning rains will change to a rain/snow mix by mid afternoon Friday for southeast Texas... and the remainder of southern Louisiana by late afternoon. The precipitation is expected to change over completely to light to moderate snow after sunset... except for the immediate coast where a rain/snow mix will likely prevail. Accumulations of up to an inch are likely... with localized amounts up to 2 inches possible. The snow will be ending from west to east across the region after midnight.
Travelers are urged to take caution Friday afternoo through Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing after midnight through shortly after sunrise Saturday. Thus... any remaining snow or moisture remaining across bridges and elevated roadways will likely freeze during this time and create areas of black ice... which is very hazardous to travel across.
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.
