Executive Summary • A Winter Storm may affect our area Friday afternoon through late Friday night. •Based on current model trends, the Friday afternoon commute could be problematic. • Temperatures will be cold enough for precipitation to be all snow in most places, with perhaps some sleet mixing in with the snow in the far south. • Too early to forecast snowfall amounts, but the speed and direction of this storm suggests a plow-able snow, but nothing extreme. •This should be more of a dry snow rather than a wet snow. •Quite a bit of uncertainty as to how much snow might fall from this event. Stay tuned for future updates. •Cold temperatures will continue across the area on Saturday and Sunday, with a warming trend beginning Monday. •Tides will not be an issue with this event. •Other notes: •Very cold temperatures can be expected into Friday. Brisk west to northwest winds will drive wind chill values below zero in many areas tonight.
