Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
January 1, 2025 - 11:46am
Expires:
January 1, 2025 - 7:00pm
Description:
A secondary surge of much colder air several thousand feet above
ground will lead to an increase in coverage and intensity in snow
showers this evening.
Road temperatures initially in the mid 30s to low 40s freezing
will quickly drop to near or below freezing after the snow
showers begin and the sun sets. The reduced traction and visibility
of a heavy snow shower can make travel very dangerous very
quickly.
Snowfall amounts will be generally one inch or less, but the bulk
of that accumulation could occur in under an hour.
Use extra caution if you must travel this evening. Slow down and
consider exiting the highway. Rapid changes in visibility and
potentially slick roads may lead to accidents. Please use extreme
caution and allow plenty of stopping distance. Avoid braking
suddenly.
