Stoddard County, Missouri - The National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky has issued a Special Weather Statement until 7 p.m. Thursday for Stoddard County, Missouri.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT UNTIL 7PM CST THU

...TEMPERATURES QUICK TO FALL BELOW FREEZING, MAY CREATE SLICK SPOTS ON AREA ROADWAYS THIS EVENING

... LIGHT PRECIPITATION FALLING THIS AFTERNOON MAY POSE A HAZARD EARLY THIS EVENING, AS TEMPERATURES PLUMMET BELOW FREEZING.

A SWATH OF RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW PRODUCED A DUSTING FOR SOME, MAINLY FROM SOUTHERN ILLINOIS INTO SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND NORTHWEST KENTUCKY.

THIS WAS MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES. ELSEWHERE LESSER AMOUNTS OCCURRED, BUT ALL OF IT GOT ON AREA ROADWAYS, AND IF THEY REMAIN WET AS TEMPERATURES DROP, DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SLICK SPOTS DEVELOP.

THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, AND FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER NIGHTFALL, WHEN TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY BE BELOW FREEZING.

WINDS WILL QUICKLY DRY THINGS OUT OVERNIGHT, BUT FOR A FEW EARLY EVENING HOURS, BE CAREFUL IF TRAVELING AND LOOK OUT FOR FLASH FREEZING OF MOISTURE ON AREA ROADWAYS, AS THE COLD AIR IS INCOMING REALLY HARD AND FAST.
