Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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

... Light sleet across the area...

Light sleet has been occuring across parts of the Permian Basin
and southeast New Mexico this morning. Initially the sleet melted
but with temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees the melting sleet has
frozen. This is resulting in a thin layer of ice in places. According
to radar most winter precipitation has occured in southeast New
Mexico and the northwest Permian Basin thus far. Expect ice to form
on some roadways especially bridges... overpasses... and intersections.
Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through tonight. Use caution
while driving.
