..RAIN POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SNOW TODAY
WIDESPREAD RAINS WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY AS A COLD FRONT
PUSHES OFFSHORE AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS OFF THE
SOUTHEAST U.S COAST. THE RAIN COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO ALL
SNOW LATER THIS MORNING AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN THE REGION
BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THE RISK FOR ANY SNOW WILL BE
GREATEST ALONG AND WEST OF LINE FROM REIDSVILLE TO STATESBORO AND
ALLENDALE. THIS INCLUDES COMMUNITIES SUCH AS METTER, MILLEN,
EMMALANE, HILLTONIA, SYLVANIA, HOPEULIKIT, MARTIN AND ULMER.
WHILE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME,
SOME VERY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM MID-MORNING
TODAY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. ACCUMULATIONS, SHOULD THEY
OCCUR, WOULD MOST LIKELY BE CONFINED TO GRASSY AREAS AND OTHER
ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS ROOF TOPS. ISOLATED SLICK SPOTS COULD
ALSO OCCUR ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, BUT SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL
IMPACTS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME GIVEN TEMPERATURES WILL
LARGELY REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING. ANY SNOW THAT ACCUMULATES WILL
QUICKLY MELT ONCE THE SNOW ENDS, THUS LIMITING ITS IMPACT.
SHOULD THE RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL INCREASE, A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED FOR THE AREA.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF YOU PLAN TO DRIVE OR WALK, REMAIN ALERT FOR SLICK SPOTS ON
PAVED SURFACES. SLOW YOUR DRIVING SPEED AND USE CARE WHEN WALKING
ON SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING LOTS. SLIPS AND FALLS
CONSTITUTE A LEADING CAUSE OF INJURIES DURING WINTER WEATHER.
