Winter Weather Advisory

Statement as of 3:33 PM CDT on March 20, 2010

Expires 5:00 PM EDT on March 21, 2010


... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from midnight
tonight to 4 PM CDT Sunday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from midnight tonight
to 4 PM CDT Sunday.

A strong upper level storm system will continue to push an Arctic
cold front across the region this afternoon and evening.
Temperatures are forecast to fall into the 30s tonight. Areas of
snow will develop within the cold sector behind the front this
evening over the advisory area. Snowfall is expected to increase
in coverage and intensity late tonight into Sunday morning.

Total snowfall accumulations of up to four inches will be
possible. The significant snowfall will diminish Sunday
afternoon... as this storm system begins to drift east away from
the region.

Temperatures are expected to remain slightly above freezing
tonight and Sunday as the snow moves across the area. Thus...
snowfall accumulations will occur mainly on elevated and grassy
surfaces. However... patchy ice may develop on some bridges...
overpasses... and secondary roadways... where temperatures fall to
or below freezing late Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities as winds increase to over
20 mph... and use caution while driving.





Lake Wind Advisory

Statement as of 9:16 PM CDT on March 20, 2010

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on March 21, 2010


... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday...

A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday.

A very tight pressure gradient will persist across the entire four
state region through Sunday evening... beneath a very strong upper level low
pressure system that will slowly shift east across the Red River
valley of northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma tonight... and into
southwest Arkansas and north Louisiana Sunday. This will result in west
northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph... with gusts to 35 mph. These gusty winds
should begin to subside by Sunday evening as this storm system begins
to depart the area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.
