Chance of wintry percipitation still exists for tomorrow

Special Weather Statement

..Below zero wind chills expected early today…
…Light wintry precipitation possible Sunday afternoon into
Sunday night…

Another Arctic high pressure system will move southeast into the
Ohio Valley today. Morning temperatures will be in the single
digits and teens, except teens in parts of southeast Missouri.
Wind chills early today will be running from zero to 8 below in
much of the area east of the Mississippi River.

A south wind flow will develop on Sunday and Sunday night. The
south winds will bring moisture northward, setting the stage for
widespread light precipitation. The precipitation will spread
from west to east across our region Sunday afternoon and evening,
continuing into Monday morning. In some areas, the precipitation
may be in the form of a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain
before enough warm air changes it to liquid rain by Monday
morning. Although heavy amounts are not expected, travel could be
impacted later Sunday afternoon into Sunday night if surface
temperatures fall back close to the freezing mark.
