Winter Weather Advisory Issued...

* NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for our Mississippi counties along and south of I-20. This includes Forest, Newton, Meridian, Clarkdale, Waynesboro, Laurel, Bay Springs and other cities in the area south of I-20.

* This has been issued for the possibility of some light sleet or freezing rain issues on bridges tomorrow morning. Barring any major changes, this will not be a major ice event - but still, you should exercise caution tomorrow morning, especially on bridges and overpasses. You might want to wake up a few minutes earlier than usual so that you can get the latest forecast before making the trip to work.

* I should again say that we do not anticipate a major ice event. The ground is very warm, so as long as the precipitation stays mostly in the form of sleet, we shouldn't have any issues with power outages or widespread icing.

* We'll be watching closely, these things can offer up some surprises...We'll be along at 5, 6, and 10pm with a full update.
