SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT UNTIL 6PM CST MON

...BLACK ICE MAY BE A CONCERN FOR TRAVELERS OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE QUAD STATE

WHERE TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW FREEZING, SOME OF THE WATER FROM THE SNOW THAT HAS MELTED WILL REFREEZE AS A THIN TRANSPARENT LAYER OF ICE, KNOWN AS BLACK ICE.

ALTHOUGH SOME ROADS MAY HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH SALT, A MAJORITY OF SECONDARY ROADS MAY STILL BE UNTREATED AND SUBJECT TO REFREEZING OF WATER ON THE ROADWAYS.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TRAVEL TONIGHT, EXERCISE CAUTION AND ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS FOR ICE ON BRIDGES, OVERPASSES, AND ELEVATED WALKWAYS.

...WET START TO WEEKEND OUTLOOK

... PRELIMINARY MODEL DATA IS STILL POINTING TO A SOGGY START TO THE WEEKEND. ESTIMATED FORECAST STORM TOTAL RAINFALL FOR FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AVERAGES FROM ONE INCH ACROSS OUR NORTH, TO POTENTIALLY 2 INCHES ACROSS OUR SOUTH.

THESE AMOUNTS WILL BE FALLING OVER GROUNDS THAT HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED GOOD RAINS, SO BE AWARE THAT RIVERS, CREEKS, AND STREAMS MAY RISE MORE QUICKLY, AND STREETS AND LOW LANDS COULD INUNDATE A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY THAN USUAL. WHILE THESE TOTALS SHOULD NOT CAUSE TOO WIDESPREAD A PROBLEM,

THERE IS SOME COLD AIR COMING IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM THAT COULD CHANGE IT OVER TO SNOW, BEFORE ENDING. AND EVEN IF THAT DOES NOT PRODUCE MUCH, YOU WILL HAVE WET ROADWAYS AS TEMPERATURES PLUNGE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

THIS COULD TRANSITION POTENTIAL HAZARDS FROM FLOODING AND HYDROPLANING FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, TO SLICK PATCHES OF SNOW OR ICE, OR BLACK ICE, SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. IN ADDITION, STRONG WINDS COULD PRODUCE BITTER COLD WIND CHILLS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND AGAIN EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

THIS SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT IS TO ADVISE YOU TO JUST BE AWARE OF ALL THESE POTENTIAL WEEKEND WEATHER HAZARDS, AND BE MONITORING YOUR LOCAL NWS FORECASTS AND UPDATES TO THIS EVOLVING WEATHER SITUATION, AS WE NEAR THE WEEKEND.
