.DISCUSSION...
Periods of light rain/drizzle will continue through the morning
with coverage of precipitation increasing in the afternoon and the
day. Areas near the Red River and the northwestern counties will
likely see the transition to a wintry mix by late this afternoon
or early evening. For this location, there`s a potential the
transition could occur by early evening (after 6 PM) through the
night. Freezing rain will be the main precipitation type
initially, but a small amount of elevated instability will be
present, which will likely result in pockets of sleet at times.
Ice accumulations will result in the onset of travel impacts
shortly after the wintry mix begins, with bridges/overpasses being
the first to be compromised. Ice accumulations on surface roads
will take a bit longer compared to bridges/overpasses, but we will
likely start to see impacts to all roadways as temperatures fall
into the mid 20s by Saturday morning. Additionally, tree damage
and sporadic power outages will begin to occur as ice accumulates
on trees and power lines.
