Winter Weather Advisory in Effect for Tristate [Forecast]

The Winter Storm Watch issued yesterday has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory.  However, according to the National Weather Service, we could still see a wintry mix and one to three inches of snow.

The areas above that are shaded in pink are under a Winter Storm Warning.  The areas shaded in purple face the Winter Weather Advisory.  Here's what the National Weather Service says we can expect . . .

* WHERE...This will affect southwest Indiana, southeast Missouri, western Kentucky and portions of southern Illinois east of Interstate 57.

* WHEN...From 3 PM this afternoon to 6 PM CST Thursday.
