Winter Storm Watch Issued for Friday Afternoon and Friday Night
I'll just bet you haven't had your fill of winter weather. (Is the sarcasm translating well?) Seriously, we have more coming as a winter storm watch has been issued for the tri-state for the weekend.
Whether we like it or not, here is the official word from the National Weather Service:
...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. * TIMING: SNOW AND SLEET WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA BY MIDDAY FRIDAY. THE PRECIPITATION WILL INTENSIFY AND TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM ABOVE FREEZING BY EARLY SATURDAY. * MAIN IMPACT: A COMBINATION OF LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS UNDERNEATH A THIN LAYER OF ICE WILL CREATE A PERIOD OF VERY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY EVENING. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT ICING OF ELEVATED OBJECTS. IF THAT OCCURS...SOME ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES COULD BECOME A PROBLEM. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT WOULD GREATLY IMPACT TRAVEL. STAY TUNED FOR LATER STATEMENTS. THIS WATCH WILL BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING IF WINTER STORM CONDITIONS BECOME MORE CERTAIN.
In a word...YUCK!
In four words...HERE WE GO AGAIN!
