Brad Gilbert, Wood County EMA director has issued the following advisory:
EMA is monitoring a strong storm system that is moving across the country that will impact NW Ohio by Friday afternoon and into Saturday. This is a classic winter storm that will move across the middle of the country and pick up moisture from the Gulf of Mexico while cold Canadian air gets pulled into the backside of the storm system. Forecast models are NOT consistent at this time as to the exact path of the storm system. One model puts the heavier snow to our west through Indiana and another model puts the heavier snow to our east across NE Ohio and Western Pennsylvania (obviously if you average the two, NW Ohio is right in the middle). Snow amounts are not known yet other than there will be accumulating snow. Once forecast models start to agree, we should have a better idea where the heavy snow bands will set up. We will continue to monitor this situation, but I wanted to give you early notice of the potential for a sizable snowfall the end of this week into the early weekend.
Enjoy the spring-like temperatures Wednesday and Thursday!
