* Our first weather watcher, David Cole, reports falling temperatures in northwestern Lauderdale County. If you would like to view their reports, or submit some reports of your own, check out our WTOK.com Weather Watcher progam:WTOK.com Weather Watchers
* The NWS has extended the Freezing Rain Advisory farther south, and it now includes all of our Mississippi counties, except Wayne and Jones. The advisory is valid from 6pm tonight until 6am Sunday for the I-20 corridor...The advisory begins at 10pm for areas south of I-20...Here's the text of that advisory:
...FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CST SUNDAY...
A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CST SUNDAY.
AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA TONIGHT. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING THIS EVENING...THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO CHANGEOVER TO LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND DRIZZLE. WHILE THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT...ANY AMOUNT OF FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE CAN CAUSE SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS...PARTICULARLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.
A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY MEANS THAT LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED WHICH COULD MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT. SLOW DOWN AND BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN DRIVING ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES TONIGHT.
* Our thinking remains mostly unchanged...Some very light freezing rain or freezing drizzle is possible. Light icing or slick spots may develop on bridges and overpasses, so be sure to use extreme caution if you're out and about anytime before noon tomorrow. We still do not expect widespread travel issues as ground temperatures are very warm.
