PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW...SLEET...OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR
SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE
DRIVING.

We have a big system tracking our way over the next few hours! With just about every type of winter precipitation possible. Snow, Sleet, and possible Freezing rain. The bufkit model below seems to be doing a pretty good job showing the timing and break down of what we can expect as we head into this evening and the overnight. Take a look.

Right now data is showing us starting out with a snow / sleet mix. Starting later this evening after 6:pm - 7:pm EST. As we go through the night we could mix in a little warmer air giving way to some sleet / freezing precipitation around midnight or so. Right now MOS models and Bufkit model are showing a possible 0.01" to 0.02" inches of ice out of this storm. With a possible snow / sleet accumulation between 2" and 3" inches.

 

We will see a low tonight around 27* degrees with breezy conditions, winds blowing between 20 and 25 mph. Tomorrow (Friday) we will start out the day with some lingering precipitation in the area. Otherwise mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies with winds between 15 and 20 mph. A high around 41* degrees and a low that night around 26* degrees. So the good news here is that if we actually do pick up that possible 0.02" inches of ice, it will have some time to melt as we head into Friday afternoon.

Here's the break down image above.

 

I will keep watching this system bloggers. If you're like me and have to be at work tonight please drive safe and allow extra time to get where you need to be. Have a safe night and God Bless!
