... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect until noon CDT today...

The Winter Weather Advisory for snow... sleet and freezing rain is now in
effect until noon CDT today.

* A mix of snow... sleet and freezing rain will continue this
morning. This mix of precipitation is expected to gradually
transition to all rain by noon.

* Little if any additional snow and sleet accumulation is
expected. Some light glazing will be possible as temperatures
hover around freezing this morning.

* Road conditions will be potentially hazardous as some snow and
ice accumulate this morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Although treated roads may just be wet... untreated surfaces will
be ice covered and very slippery. Motorists should remain alert
for rapid changes in Road conditions. It only takes a small amount
of wintry precipitation to make roads... bridges... sidewalks and
parking lots icy and dangerous. It is often difficult to tell when
ice begins to form... so do not be caught off guard.
