EVENING...

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

* LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD
 ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING. IT IS EXPECTED TO
 GRADUALLY EXPAND AND SHIFT EASTWARD INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY AND
 SOUTHWEST INDIANA DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON HOURS. SNOW
 WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SOME SNOW
 SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS THE PENNYRILE AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA
 THIS EVENING BUT THE BULK OF ACCUMULATING SNOWS WILL OCCUR
 DURING THE DAY.

* WITH TEMPERATURES ALREADY IN THE 20S EARLY THIS MORNING...THE
 SNOW SHOULD HAVE LITTLE DIFFICULTY ACCUMULATING ON MOST SURFACES
 INCLUDING ROADS. 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED GENERALLY
 NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM MURPHYSBORO ILLINOIS TO MAYFIELD
 KENTUCKY. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED OVER SOUTHWEST
 INDIANA AND THE PENNYRILE REGION OF WEST KENTUCKY.

* WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THE SNOW BEGINS.
 SUSTAINED SPEEDS 20 TO 35 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED...WHILE GUSTS
 COULD REACH AS HIGHS AS 45 MPH AT TIMES. THE STRONG WINDS MAY
 RESULT IN SOME BLOWING SNOW WHICH COMBINED WITH THE LIGHT TO
 MODERATE SNOWFALL COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES.
 TRAVEL WILL BECOME POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TODAY. WIND CHILL
 TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO THROUGH
 THE DAY...AND WILL GENERALLY FALL THROUGH THE DAY AT ANY GIVEN
 LOCATION.

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...AND USE CAUTION WHILE
DRIVING.
