FRIDAY - WEATHER WARN DAY:
Our latest round of wintry weather will arrive on Friday afternoon after 1pm. We can expect a period of snow during the late afternoon that will change over to sleet and then freezing rain during the evening. A coating to 2 inches can be expected for much of the area with much of that falling as sleet. Up to 0.15" of an inch of freezing rain will accumulate on top of the snow and sleet. This will create very treacherous travel Friday evening into Saturday morning.
Your best bet will be to avoid travel Friday afternoon through Friday evening as the road conditions will rapidly deteriorate. Saturday morning will also likely be icy as we will start the day in the mid 20s before finally warming up into the mid 30s by Saturday afternoon.This will be our most impactful storm of the winter season so far, stay with us as we continue to bring you updates! Due to the threat of dangerous travel, the CBS 21 First Warning Weather team has declared Friday a Weather Warn Day.
