Winter Weather Advisory
Issued by the National Weather Service at 6:36 PM CST on January 5, 2009


... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday.

Light freezing rain and sleet will develop and expand north
across the entire area tonight. While the precipitation will
remain very light... it will be falling into air that will be at
or below the freezing mark. This will result in light icing of
area roadways... mainly elevated surfaces such as bridges and
overpasses... where the pavement temperature may be below freezing
even if the air temperature is above freezing.

It will be coldest north of the Ohio River... as the above
32 degree air surges north across western Kentucky late tonight
into early Tuesday morning. By mid morning Tuesday... the
precipitation will be diminishing... and air temperatures will be
near or above freezing in most locations.

Be aware of this potentially hazardous icing problem overnight...
and make the appropriate cautionary travel plans.
