The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 1 am Saturday
to midnight CDT Saturday night.

* A mix of rain and snow will spread over the area late this
evening. The mixed precipitation should change to all snow
within a short time after the precipitation begins... with snow
expected to persist through Saturday morning.

* Snowfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected by noon
Saturday.

* Most of the snow accumulations will be on grassy areas due to
the warm ground temperatures. However heavier bursts of snow
late tonight and early Saturday morning will accumulate fast
enough to cause roads... especially bridges and overpasses... to
become snow covered and slippery.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slick... snow
covered roads and limited visibilities... and be careful while
driving.
