... Ice Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 am CST Monday...
Temperatures are expected to hold steady or slowly fall during
the afternoon... with all areas in the Ice Storm Warning near or
below freezing by early evening. Rain will change to freezing
rain and persist through Sunday as an upper level low approaches
the area. Ice accumulations are expected to initially occur on
elevated surfaces such as trees... power lines... and bridges and
overpasses... but will eventually begin to accumulate on surface
roads. Significant ice accumulations are expected tonight and
Sunday... with ice accumulations of one-half inch to one inch or
more are possible.
A major ice storm is likely. Preparations to protect life and
property should be rushed to completion. Prepare for extended
power outages from downed trees and power lines. Have non-
perishable food and bottled water on hand. Do not travel unless
it is an absolute emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra
blanket... flashlight... food... and water in your vehicle in case
you become stranded.
How lovely.
