Are you ready for the weather tomorrow? Expect a chilly winter day!
Tomorrow, we brace ourselves for a significant drop in temperature and accumulating snow across several regions. After a brief, warm reprieve that saw temperatures nudging into the 30s, it’s time to bundle up as a winter storm approaches. With the First Alert 6 Weather Day in effect, here's what to expect from the impending cold front and snow system.
What to Expect Tomorrow
As the storm rolls in tonight, a mixed bag of precipitation will begin, transitioning from rain to sleet and eventually to snow by early Saturday morning. As you wake up, don't be surprised to see a blanket of white covering the roads, as the bulk of the snow is forecasted to hit before 8 AM.
Here's a breakdown of the snowfall forecast:
- Metro Areas: Expect 1-3 inches of snow.
- North and East of Metro: Up to 6 inches possible.
- Northern Areas: Lighter accumulations of up to 2 inches.
As the morning progresses, temperatures will take a nosedive from a starting point of around 26°F, dropping into the teens by the afternoon. Winds gusting up to 40 mph will create wind chills that can feel as low as -30°F. If you have travel plans, it's advisable to wait until the afternoon when conditions may improve, as roads may be treacherous in the early morning hours due to blowing snow and icy patches.
Next Week's Forecast
Unfortunately, the wintry weather doesn't end here. Another round of snow is anticipated for Monday, with forecasts suggesting that areas could see an additional 2-4 inches of accumulation. This means that while Saturday and Sunday may see some respite, prepare for further disruptions early next week.
Safety Tips for Winter Weather
- Travel Caution: Only drive if absolutely necessary. If you must go out, ensure your vehicle is equipped with emergency supplies.
- Keep Warm: Ensure your home is heated adequately, and keep blankets handy in case of power outages.
- Monitor Weather Updates: Regularly check your local weather reports for the latest updates on snow accumulation and severe weather alerts.
As we gear up for another weather alert day, stay safe and informed. Prepare your plans accordingly and keep an eye on the ever-changing weather conditions. Remember, it’s not just about being aware; it’s about being prepared!
