...ACCUMULATING SNOW TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT...

A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT, PRODUCING
A PERIOD OF SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST. THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE 
EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH TOTALS OF GENERALLY 1.0 TO
1.5 INCHES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW TO
DEVELOP FOR A TIME ACROSS A PORTION OF OUR REGION, AND THIS WOULD
BE IN THE FORM OF AN EAST TO WEST ORIENTATED BAND. IF THIS OCCURS,
SNOWFALL RATES WOULD BE LOCALLY HIGHER FOR A TIME OTHERWISE A
LIGHT INTENSITY SNOW IS ANTICIPATED.

THE COLD AIR THAT IS IN PLACE COMBINED WITH A COLD GROUND WILL 
RESULT IN THE SNOW STICKING TO UNTREATED SURFACES IMMEDIATELY. THIS 
WILL RESULT IN QUICKLY DEVELOPING SLICK CONDITIONS DURING THE NIGHT. 
UNTREATED ROADS AND WALKWAYS WILL BECOME SNOW COVERED, RESULTING IN 
AREAS OF SLIPPERY TRAVEL.

WHILE DRIVING USE CAUTION AND BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND 
GREATLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES DURING THE COURSE OF TONIGHT. DRIVE AT A
SLOWER SPEED AND USE EXTRA CAUTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ON
BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES AS THEY TEND TO BECOME EVEN
MORE SLIPPERY. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO END PRIOR TO SUNRISE ON
TUESDAY.
