Driving in Winter Weather Tips

A potent winter storm is expected to impact the region this weekend. There is a high chance (>60%) of more than an inch of snow across the region, and a medium to high chance (40-80%) of accumulating ice from freezing rain. Exact amounts of snow and ice are still uncertain, but travel will likely become very difficult from late Friday through early Sunday.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the entire area from Friday afternoon through early Sunday morning. Significant snow and ice accumulations are possible and travel will likely be very difficult this weekend.

Very cold temperatures are expected this weekend with morning lows in the single digits on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The coldest wind chills (as low as 15 degrees below zero) are expected Friday night into Saturday morning, and an Extreme Cold Watch is in effect for the entire area during this timeframe.

After a couple more mild days today and Thursday, winter returns this weekend with bitterly cold temperatures and wintry precipitation.

There is a potential for extreme cold, with sub-zero wind chills, this weekend. While we have had recent spurts of cold weather, we have not yet experienced sub-zero wind chills this winter. Here are some reminders on dressing appropriately for extreme cold.

Here are some tips and tidbits for driving in winter weather. Plan ahead and stay safe this weekend!
