The Wood County Emergency Management Agency has issued the following advisory:
We have another snow event that will be impacting Wood County Thursday evening into Friday early morning. Currently, the snow is forecast to begin around 4 p.m. and end by about 6 a.m, Friday morning. During the late evening and overnight hours there is a potential for a snow/ sleet mixture. Based on the timing there could be some travel concerns during the Friday morning commute.
What to expect:
- A system will bring light to moderate wintry mixed precipitation beginning Thursday evening, continuing through early Friday. Some lake effect snow lingering in the Cleveland area and snowbelt Friday into Friday night with light additional accumulations
- Snow and sleet accumulations of 1 to 4″ (greatest in far northern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania, locally less towards central Ohio) expected through Friday morning
- Ice accumulations of a light glaze expected in northwestern Ohio and near the lakeshore, increasing to one to locally two tenths of an inch farther south
- Main impacts are slick conditions and potentially hazardous travel Thursday night into early Friday, especially on untreated surfaces
- The greatest travel impacts will likely develop just after the Thursday evening commute from west to east across the area. Slick conditions linger into early Friday, but remaining precipitation will be light by then
Potential forecast difficulties:
- The northern extent of mixed precipitation will be watched for changes in snowfall amounts. Surface temperatures near freezing around Canton and Youngstown may briefly result in a change to rain late Thursday night
Next briefing:
- Will be sent via email when headlines or issued or if major changes occur to the forecast
