...A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET POSSIBLE THIS MORNING
OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL THROUGH EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS...

A NARROW BAND OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WAS TRACKING QUICKLY
NORTHEAST ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNTS WITH THIS FAST MOVING BAND WILL BE QUITE
LIGHT...IT WON`T TAKE MUCH FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET TO CAUSE PROBLEMS
ON AREA ROADWAYS. FURTHER TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST...SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WERE ABOVE FREEZING...SO THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF LIGHT
RAIN BEFORE A TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET OCCURS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. THE MIXED PRECIPITATION WAS ALREADY BEGINNING TO
CHANGE OVER TO SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS EARLY THIS
MORNING.

AGAIN...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WITH THIS FAST MOVING BAND WILL BE
LIGHT...BUT THERE WILL BE JUST ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS ON
BRIDGE DECKS AND OVERPASSES EARLY THIS MORNING. MOTORISTS DRIVING
ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL...EAST CENTRAL AND A SMALL PORTION OF
SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SLICK SPOTS ON
AREA ROADWAYS THIS MORNING.
