Advisory map as of 4:15 PM Thursday.
Light freezing drizzle, freezing rain, freezing fog, and sleet moved across the Missouri Bootheel, northwest Tennessee, and western Kentucky today. It continues in some areas.
A light glaze has been reported in many areas. Treated roadways have been okay. Untreated roadways have ice on them. Steps and porches are ice coverage in many areas. Use care.
What looks wet could be black ice.
The precipitation will continue into tonight.
Snow is approaching from the northwest. It is moving east southeast. This is along an arctic cold front.
Light snow is likely tonight across at least the northern half of southeast Missouri, all of southern Illinois, and northwest Kentucky. Snow showers may extend south of there, but not as great of coverage as areas to the north.

Snow accumulation of 0 to 1″ will be possible tonight. This could cause additional travel issues.
The NAM model shows that potential. Just a model’s opinion. It won’t be exact. You get the general idea.
Here is the NAM model future-cast radar. What radar might look like into tomorrow morning.
Blue is snow.
Time is Zulu. 00z= 6 pm. 06z=6 am. 12z=6 am. 18z=12 pm.
Bitterly cold air returns tonight into Saturday night. Lows will drop into the single digits tomorrow night and Saturday night. Brrr.
Highs tomorrow and Saturday will only reach into the teens.
Precipitation chances increase Sunday night into much of next week. Several rounds of rain. The rain may begin as a wintry mix late Sunday night and Monday morning. I will need to monitor Monday night’s temperatures, as well. They may flirt with freezing.
Widespread rain is likely Monday into the middle of next week. Chances will top 60%.
Seven-day rainfall totals. We are still in drought and need rain. Severe weather is not in the forecast. That is also good news.
