UPPER LEVEL ENERGY CONTINUES TO PRODUCE PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PARTS OF THE STATE. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A MIXTURE OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.

THE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL END AFTER SUNSET BUT SEVERAL HOURS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE ARE EXPECTED AFTERWARDS.  TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW FREEZING THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH SOME TRAVEL CONCERNS EXPECTED…ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE ENHANCED AFTER DARK.

THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CST THIS EVENING…

FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS A STORM SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. EVEN ONCE THE STEADY PRECIPITATION ENDS…SEVERAL HOURS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA.

EVERYONE IS URGED TO KEEP INFORMED ABOUT THE LATEST WEATHER CONDITIONS AND FORECASTS. EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING IN THE ADVISORY AREA ONCE PRECIPITATION STARTS.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW…SLEET…OR FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES…AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
