Advisory

Winter Storm Warning

A Winter Storm Warning in effect from today, Sunday March 3, 2019 at 3:00 PM until tomorrow, Monday March 4, 2019.  Heavy snow expected.  Travel is strongly discouraged.

A WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 7 AM EST MONDAY...

* WHAT: Heavy wet snow and sleet expected. Total snow and sleet   accumulations of 4 to 7 inches expected.

* WHEN: Rain and snow develops this afternoon, then all snow occurs into this evening. Snow should mix with sleet from southeast to northwest by later this evening, with even some areas changing to rain especially closer to the coast. Any rain or wintry mix changes back to snow before ending early Monday morning.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Travel could be very difficult. Snowfall rates of up to an inch per hour will be possible between about 5 PM and 11 PM, especially closer to Interstate 95. While the precipitation will end before the Monday morning commute, hazardous conditions should still be occurring from the earlier heavy wet snow and sleet.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

A Winter Storm Warning for snow means severe winter weather conditions will make travel very hazardous or impossible. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5-1-1.
