Brad Gilbert, Emergency Management Agency director for Wood County, has issued the following advisory:
The storm system moving through the area on Thursday is now trending down towards 1”-2”. In some areas especially in Northern Wood County, areas may see less than 1” of snow on Thursday.
Forecast models today are now trending towards moving the storm track (and heaviest snow band) for Saturday slightly south. Again, the forecast models will not start providing high confidence storm track data until Thursday, so there is still a chance of a different storm track. With the slight move southward in the storm track trend today, Wood County is in the 4”-6” snowfall range with the lower amount to the north and higher amount to the south. Please keep in mind that strong winds will be a big component of the weekend storm that will cause traveling difficulties both Saturday and Sunday. We should start having high confidence storm track data by early Thursday afternoon for this storm system.
Polar air moves into the area on Sunday and into Monday. Overnight lows on Sunday into Monday will be 8 to 10 degrees below zero with highs in the mid teens both days.
We are now tracking another storm system that could have accumulating snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
