.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

   Cold Weather Advisory.

Temperatures will remain very cold through the weekend. A reinforcing
cold front will bring the threat of very low wind chills again on
Wednesday night and Thursday night. A strong arctic front may bring
the coldest weather of the season this weekend. Temperatures across
the northern mountains are likely to remain continuously below freezing
from Friday evening until at least Monday afternoon. As this
period of unusually cold weather prolongs, the potential for damage
to infrastructure, including burst water pipes will steadily
increase.

In addition to the cold weather, confidence is increasing that wintry
precipitation will develop across the area beginning Friday evening,
continuing into Saturday, with snow expected to be the primary
precipitation type. Significant accumulations of snow are possible
across much of the area, with impacts to travel being the primary
concern.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

None.

...PATCHY BLACK ICE THIS MORNING...

Temperatures have fallen below freezing across the area, causing
lingering runoff from melted snow and sleet to refreeze on
untreated roads. Patchy black ice can be expected once again
through this morning. Icy patches will remain until temperatures
can warm above freezing in the late morning hours. If traveling
this morning, be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges
and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when
walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
