Travel will be slow to dangerous along I-35, I-44 and I-70 aswell as other highways and secondary roads across this zone.Meanwhile, some sleet will mix in to create messy travel conditions over asmall corridor across Oklahoma and northern Arkansas. Little Rock is among thecities that will get some sleet and snow in the morning, perhaps causing atricky morning commute.

A bone-chilling, soaking rain will fall farther south in places likeDallas.
