TENNESSEE — A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for several counties in West Tennessee, with forecasters warning of a mix of snow, sleet, and ice that could create hazardous travel conditions Monday evening into early Tuesday.
The National Weather Service says the advisory will be in effect from 6 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday for parts of West Tennessee, including Lake, Obion, Weakley, Henry, Dyer, Gibson, Carroll, Benton, Lauderdale, Tipton, Haywood, Crockett, Madison, Henderson, and Decatur counties.
Cities within the advisory area include Union City, Tiptonville, Martin, Paris, Dyersburg, Humboldt, Milan, Huntingdon, Lexington, Jackson, Ripley, Covington, Brownsville, Alamo, Parsons, Decaturville, and Camden.
Forecasters expect less than one inch of snow and sleet accumulation, along with ice totals of less than one-tenth of an inch. Even small amounts of ice can make travel dangerous, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution. The Weather Service warns that roads may become slippery and that icing could increase the risk of falls on sidewalks, driveways, and stairways.
Travelers can check the latest statewide road conditions by calling 511.
