Update

March 4th, 2013 at 9:18 pm by under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog

Low-level jet is increasing & nosing into mid-Mississippi to Lower Ohio Valleys with blossoming scattered showers.  Rain, freezing rain & sleet showers will increase in our area overnight & continue into tomorrow.  Some minor ice accumulations are possible.  Still looks like 0.1″ accumulation may be reached north of U.S. 24 with less than 0.1″ elsewhere.

On-going snowfall totals still look good.  These amounts would accumulate by early, early Wednesday morning.  Strong winds gusts of up to 43 mph in places in the viewing area will accompany the highest snowfall rates Tuesday night.  Winds will be sustained at 20-25 mph for a while during the highest rates.  Worst of the conditions still look to be 10 p.m.-2 a.m. per latest analysis with a changeover to all snow in the ENTIRE viewing area by 5 p.m. tomorrow.

I will have another update based on the latest data at 11:30 p.m.
