...FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A FREEZING
RAIN ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST.

WHILE PRECIPITATION EARLY THIS MORNING HAS BEEN VERY LIGHT...DUE
TO SUB FREEZING TEMPERATURES...THE COMBINATION OF LIGHT SLEET AND
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN HAS ALREADY CREATED A THIN LAYER OF ICE
ON AREA ROADWAYS. AS THIS PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO EXPAND NORTH
AND EAST THIS MORNING...ANY ICING WILL ONLY GET WORSE...UNTIL
TEMPERATURES CAN RECOVER ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK SOMETIME THIS
AFTERNOON.

BY AFTERNOON THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE FAIRLY UNIFORM AND
WIDESPREAD...AS TEMPERATURES START TO NUDGE THE FREEZING MARK.

AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...TEMPERATURES SHOULD RISE SLOWLY. BY
SUNSET...TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE ABOVE FREEZING IN MOST
AREAS.

EARLY MORNING COMMUTERS MAY EXPERIENCE MINOR ICING OR NUISANCE
HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION. IF YOU
ARE TRAVELLING EARLY TODAY...YOU SHOULD WATCH FOR ICING ON
ROADWAYS... ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.
