Evening Update
* Just had some light rain and sleet fall along S. Frontage Rd. in Meridian...* We will go ahead and amend the forecast to include the possibility of snow flurries mixing in with the rain/sleet mixture. The latest upper-air data suggests that in some places, the entire column of atmosphere will be below freezing - that suggests some snow is possible.
* Still thinking no big problems - but there could be some isolated slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.
* These events can offer up some surprises, so check back here and keep watching WTOK throughout the night and into tomorrow morning. If things change drastically, we'll let you know.
* NEED YOUR REPORTS: The best way for us to know what's happening is for you to tell us what you're seeing! Simply leave a comment here with a time, location, and weather report...If you hear from a friend or family member of a report in another location, feel free to post it too. I'll watch throughout the night and use these reports tonight at 10.

It's sleeting in north Meridian right now and at NAS.
It has been sleeting in the Briarwood area for quite a while now.
What will the road conditions be like at 6am?
Hey er nurse,
Thanks to you and william for the report...
Road conditions at 6:00 am should be good for the most part. Our concern is that we may see a few slick spots on a few bridges and/or overpasses in the area.
If anything should change, I will update this space and also break into programming on WTOK and Fox Meridian.
If anyone hears of more reports, please pass them along.
Had moderate sleet falling on Pine Springs Road (1/2 NW of Meridian City Limts) that started around 7:25 pm and lasted until around 7:55pm. The dew point also went up at the same time. The ground is wet but on the bellsouth telephone box that is about 2 ft of the ground has a thin layer of ice on it along with the surfaces of the vehicles. Right now one vehicle has a complete layer of frozen ice along with sleet frozen in it too..(rough layer of ice). I have a pic but dont know how to post it. Also as of 9:04pm, the temperature was 32 degrees and the wet bulb is 29 degrees..
Hey David,
E-mail me the pic at josh.johnson@wtok.com and I will post it.
Thanks again for the reports!
