Cold temperatures will continue to impact the area today.
“It’s looking cold and blustery for Wednesday,” said National Weather Service Meteorologist Evan Webb. “May have some slick sports on the road Wednesday morning. We’re looking at a dusting of snow possible, a trace up to around a half an inch can’t be ruled out with rain showers changing over to snow showers overnight and into the early morning hours.”
While a Wind Advisory is only in effect for the earlier part of the morning, windy conditions will impact temperatures most of the day.
“With colder temperatures in place, the wind is also going to result in wind chills in the 20s for a lot of the day, so it’s just going to be kind of a raw day, cold and blustery,” Webb said.
Thursday brings a bit of a reprieve from the wintry mix, but Webb says a similar storm system to what the area saw at the beginning of the week will roll through at the end of the week.
“An unusually strong storm system that’s going to bring rain, strong winds,” Webb said. “It’s possible that another Wind Advisory will be issued at some point late in the week, and then some much colder air behind that system over the weekend.”
Webb reminds drivers to take extra caution when driving through winter weather, with slick spots more likely with precipitation and temperatures hanging around freezing.
