... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from midnight tonight to
4 PM CDT Sunday...
The National Weather Service in Shreveport has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from midnight
tonight to 4 PM CDT Sunday.
A strong upper level storm system will 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.
