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

It’s one 9 First weather warning day from this afternoon through Friday morning because snowfall may cause slippery spots on the roads.

The NWS has one Winter weather advice that starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until 4 a.m. on Friday. There’s a lot to break down, so let’s dive in!

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

THURSDAY AFTERNOON – Scattered snow showers and some rain will move east and we will see a lull in activity around noon. It will remain cloudy and cold with wind gusts from the west-northwest at speeds of 10 to 30 km/h, with gusts up to 30 km/h. This should last until about 3pm

THURSDAY NIGHT – The next wave of snow will cover the area around 3 to 5 p.m. This is more widespread than we saw this morning. The snow intensity will increase as it gets later, while we could see some slippery spots developing on the roads. Bridges and overpasses will be the places you should be alert to first, as those surfaces will be colder. But some random, muddy accumulations of snow are possible between 5 p.m. and 1 a.m.

How much snow are we talking about? This will be difficult to measure because much of the snow will melt as it hits the ground. But it’s not out of the question that we could see amounts of snowfall ranging from trace amounts to 1 inch in many locations and up to 2 inches in some isolated spots.
