We’ve received a little rain today, not much, but there’s more to come.
Timing:
We should remain dry thru the rest of today, maybe a scattered shower or two.
HRRR model (above) shows some rain arriving Wednesday morning, with the bulk of it coming Wednesday afternoon. Some more rain should swing around Thursday morning. Timestamp is in the upper left corner.
We have a Winter Weather Advisory for both of our counties from noon Thursday – 9am Friday.
Across our counties, probabilities for >0.01″ of ice accumulation range from 30 – 70%.
Ice is a lot different from snow. All it takes is a glazing of ice to cause issues on the roads.
Wind Chill Advisory continues thru 10 AM Wednesday.
High temps only expected to make it to 18° today. Wind chills will be stuck in the single digits during the day.
Air temps tonight will be very close to 0°, your backyard may make it below zero.
Well…it’s snowing.
As expected, snow has quickly accumulated across the area and road conditions are quickly deteriorating. If you don’t have to get out, please don’t. If you must get out, please, take it slow, leave plenty of room, and *clean the snow off the top of your car*. Snow on top of vehicles can become aerodynamic ice missiles, and you do not want that flying thru a windshield.
Overnight tonight a cold front will swing thru, bringing in our very cold air. Along the front, there could be some flurries. Areas north of I-40 could see a dusting, no major impacts expected.
Both of our counties are under a Winter Storm Watch from Sunday evening thru Tuesday morning. This will likely be changed to a Winter Storm Warning later tonight or tomorrow.
