1/5 - 4pm - Winter Weather ADVISORY

The National Weather Service has placed Jefferson and surrounding counties under a Winter Weather ADVISORY for tonight and into the morning tomorrow. As a storm comes up our way from the south tonight, freezing rain could fall and accumulate on surfaces. While I don't think we'll see more than a tenth of an inch of accumulation, I still urge you to be careful during the commute tomorrow morning. Bridges and overpasses will be the main issue here, but we're not expecting an ice storm or anything close to that severity. Everything should turn to plain rain by late morning. Again, this won't be a big issue, but it bears watching and being cautious.

Rain will continue into the afternoon tomorrow and then turn to snow late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Accumulations will stay under 1 inch and most will probably see a dusting on Wednesday morning, if anything at all. Clear and cold weather will dominate for the balance of the workweek, with rain expected on Friday evening into Saturday.

Looks like we'll see a couple chances for snow next week. Cooler air will be coming into the area, so I think this could be our best shot for snow so far this season. It's too early to pinpoint exactly when we'll see snow and how much, but a couple of systems have been making an appearance on the long range GFS for a little while now. More details to come later this week on this.
