The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 3 am to 6 pm Wednesday.
Rain will transition over to wet snow late Tuesday night over portions of southeast Missouri...then along the Mississippi River and over southern Illinois Wednesday morning. The snow will continue during the day...before tapering off from west to east Wednesday afternoon.
Impacts from the snowfall remain questionable. Road surfaces will be warm at first due to recent conditions. Also...much of the snow will fall during the daylight hours with surface temperatures remaining above the freezing mark. So, much of any snow accumulations could be limited to grassy surfaces.
But, where more intense precipitation occurs...slushy snow accumulations will be a possibility and visibilities could fall rapidly. So, motorists should slow down and use extra caution if driving late Tuesday night and Wednesday.
