Confidence rises for wintry mix to impact area Friday night into weekend
Confidence has increased that a mix of wintry precipitation could affect much of the area Friday night into the weekend, a community weather post said Friday. The post urged residents to continue monitoring the latest forecast for updates on timing and impacts.
Wintry mixes typically include combinations of snow, sleet and freezing rain, which can create slippery roads, reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions. Local governments, schools and transportation agencies often adjust schedules and issue advisories when such conditions are expected.
Forecasters rely on multiple computer models and observations to refine predictions as a system approaches, and confidence can change as new data arrive. Residents are advised to check forecasts from their local forecast office or trusted weather providers, prepare for possible travel delays and ensure emergency supplies are available if disruption occurs.
Details remain limited at this time. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
