Ice Threat Likely, Snow not so much with Current Storm in the Plains

An threat for some nasty conditions has developed in the Plains states, where some warnings/advisories regarding the threat of ice have been issued by the NWS.  This is the storm I talked about in WinterChat! over the past few days for the time frame of December 14-17.  Now that I am bringing in real posts about it, I will stop discussing it in WinterChat!.  Anyways, my general thinking has come to fruition in terms that there will not be an excessive snow threat with this storm.  However, ice/slush is likely, and that can be just as dangerous while driving.

In the above map, we have all of the warnings/watches issued by the NWS.  The pink areas in the red circles are where the NWS has issued a warning for ice.  Just remember folks, while it may not be snowing, be careful in the roads tonight on the Plains.  This storm is expected to bring a lot of precipitation to the Plains areas, as shown in this QPF map:

That's all I have on this storm folks, stay tuned!
