The National Weather Service conducted a briefing this afternoon in reference to the forecasted winter weather tonight. Our area will be under a Winter Weather Advisory from 6:00 p.m. tonight through noon Thursday. The current forecast is for less one inch of snow accumulation in our area.
The precipitation is expected to begin in our area between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. as rain and then change over to snow. Ground temperatures are in the 30’s and 40’s, and initial snow will melt but then begin to accumulate as temperatures decrease overnight.
Roads may become slippery overnight, especially on bridges and overpasses, and drivers should use caution in the early morning hours on Thursday. The NWS is describing this event as a “light snow event,” and it's expected to last approximately 12 hours; this is forecasted to be a fast moving system in our area.
