SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT – Icy Prospects Update

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

457 AM CST MON JAN 5 2009

 

…ICY PROSPECTS SHOULD POSE MINIMAL IMPACT…

MUCH COLDER AIR HAS FILTERED INTO WEST TENNESSEE.  TEMPERATURES JUST BEFORE 5 AM WERE RIGHT AT FREEZING NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 AND JUST ABOVE FREEZING SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE.  MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE OVER THE MIDSOUTH AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS BREAKING OUT OVER THE ARKANSAS-MISSOURI STATE LINE.  THE COLD AIR OVER US IS RELATIVELY DRY AND THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP THE PRECIPITATION LIGHT TODAY.  THE GRAPHIC SHOWS THE AREAS TODAY THAT COULD SEE SOME LIGHT ICING (LESS THAN A QUARTER OF AN INCH) FROM PRECIPITATION WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AT FREEZING. 

ROAD SURFACE TEMPERATURES SHOULD PRECLUDE TRAVEL CONCERNS UNLESS THE PRECIPITATION GETS HEAVIER THAN EXPECTED. THE EXCEPTION TO THAT WILL BE ELEVATED SURFACES AND BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. 

MOST AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 SHOULD REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING TODAY AND THIS WILL PREVENT ANY TRAVEL CONCERNS. 

RESIDENTS, EXPECIALLY IN THE HIGHLIGHTED AREA ON THE GRAPHIC – NORTH OF I-40 – SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST FORECAST AND USE MUCH CAUTION ESPECIALLY OVER BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WHEN PRECIPITATION IS FALLING.  THE SAME HIGHLIGHTED AREAS WILL HAVE TO POSSIBLY DEAL WITH SOME ICING TONIGHT AS PRECIPITATION INCREASES AND TEMPERATURES HOVER RIGHT AROUND 32º.
