...MULTI-FACETED WEATHER SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION ON
THURSDAY...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH THE REGION ON
THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS UP TO 40-45 MPH ARE EXPECTED DURING
THE MORNING BEFORE WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO 40-45 MPH OCCUR DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL BLOW
AROUND UNSECURED OBJECTS OUTDOORS (INCLUDING HOLIDAY DECORATIONS)
AND MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT FOR HIGH-PROFILE VEHICLES.
ADDITIONALLY, AFTER A PERIOD OF RAIN EARLIER IN THE DAY,
TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET FROM THE 40S INTO THE 20S AND TEENS
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GUSTY SNOW SHOWERS AND
SNOW SQUALLS ARE EXPECTED DURING THIS TIME AND WILL LEAD TO
SHARPLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND PRODUCE LOCALIZED COATINGS OF
SNOW ON ROADWAYS. FURTHERMORE, THE PLUMMETING TEMPERATURES MAY
ALSO CAUSE ANY MOISTURE ON PAVEMENT TO FREEZE UP, LEADING TO SLICK
SPOTS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS AND SIDEWALKS. MOTORISTS SHOULD PLAN
FOR POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS THURSDAY EVENING.
