From Brad Gilbert, Wood County Emergency Management director
I REALLY hate to say it, but the NWS Cleveland office just provided and updated forecast. Forecasting models have shifted heavier snow bands further west putting most of Wood County in the 4” to 6” of snow potential by Saturday morning. The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Wood County until 10:00 a.m. Saturday. Winds will be from the northwest at 15-25 mph. Convection within this storm system will be giving us the heavy snow potential. The convection will also make it likely that you could hear “thunder snow” especially when the snowfall is heavy at times later tonight.
This is a vey unusual spring storm system, so please use extra caution this evening into the overnight hours and early Saturday morning if you have to travel.
