...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS
EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...AND FAR SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF WESTERN KENTUCKY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST
THIS EVENING.

AT 1045 AM...PADUCAH RADAR SHOWED A LARGE MASS OF PRECIPITATION
SITTING JUST TO OUR SOUTH...OR JUST SOUTH OF NEW MADRID MISSOURI AND
FULTON KENTUCKY. THIS AREA OF PRECIPITATION WAS GROWING AND
EXPANDING NORTH AND EAST...AND AS IT WAS FALLING IN SUB FREEZING
AIR...WAS PRODUCING LIGHT ICING IN WEST TENNESSEE IN THE FORM OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THIS AREA LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO EXPAND NORTH AND EAST AND HIT ALL OF THE SOUTHERN
JACKSON PURCHASE AND SOUTHERN PENNYRILE REGION IN WESTERN KENTUCKY
BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AS WELL AS SPILL OVER INTO NEW MADRID
AND MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. TEMPERATURES AT OR
BELOW FREEZING WILL MEAN AT LEAST SOME LIGHT ICING PROBLEMS AND
POTENTIALLY COULD MEAN MORE HAZARDOUS ICING CONDITIONS.

WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY WELL HIT 32 OR ABOVE ALONG THE TENNESSEE
BORDER...FURTHER NORTH INTO THE KENTUCKY BORDER COUNTIES...THE
TEMPERATURES MAY BE BELOW FREEZING...SO THE ICING POTENTIAL DOES
EXTEND THRU THE ENTIRETY OF THE KENTUCKY BORDER COUNTIES. THIS
WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE BRIDGES AND
OVERPASSES...WHICH MAY REMAIN BELOW FREEZING EVEN IF AIR
TEMPERATURES HIT JUST ABOVE.

BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ICING PROBLEM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING AND MAKE YOUR TRAVEL PLANS
ACCORDINGLY. THIS WILL IMPACT THE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK OR SCHOOL
SO YOU MAY CONSIDER LEAVING EARLY OR AT LEAST DRIVING SLOWLY AND
CAREFULLY TO BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS WITH POTENTIAL SLICK SPOTS.
