TIMELINE: The snow is moving in

It’s time to get into winter mode with the first snow of the season!

It is one 9 First warning of weather warning day from this afternoon to Friday morning, as slick patches may develop on the roads as the snow falls.

The NWS has issued a Advice on winter weather which starts at 4 p.m. and continues until Friday at 04.00. There’s a lot to break down, so let’s get into it!

THURSDAY MORNING – A mix of rain and snow moves into the Tri-State to start the day as temperatures cool to the freezing point. This spotty activity will be enough to wet the roads, but not to stick to the pavement. It also helps that road temperatures are above freezing this morning. So treat driving conditions like those we would see on a rainy morning.

THURSDAY DINNER – Scattered snow showers and some rain will move east and we will see a lull in activity around midday. It will still be cloudy and cool with gusty west-northwest winds 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph. This should last until around 3 p.m

THURSDAY EVENING – The next wave of snow will begin to finish the area around 3 to 5 p.m. This is more widespread than we saw this morning. Snow intensity will increase the later it gets, and that’s when we could see some slick patches developing on the roads. Bridges and overpasses will be places where you need to be alert first, as these surfaces will be colder. But some occasional slush accumulations of snow will be possible between 17.00 and 01.00

How much snow are we talking about? This will be difficult to measure as much of the snow will melt when it hits the ground. But it is not out of the question that we could see snowfall amounts ranging from trace amounts to 1″ in many places and up to 2″ in some isolated places.
