As winter settles in, the northern United States is experiencing a series of winter storms, leading to various weather advisories being issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in different states. From light snow showers to heavy snowfall, icy road conditions, and freezing temperatures, residents are urged to exercise caution and prepare for challenging travel conditions.
In Duluth, Minnesota, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued, warning of lingering light snow showers with minimal accumulations expected. Similarly, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a Winter Storm Watch is in effect, predicting heavy snowfall of 5 to 9 inches in several counties from Saturday morning through late Saturday night, impacting holiday travelers and hunters with potentially difficult road conditions.
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a Special Weather Statement highlights the possibility of icy road conditions due to a light coating of snow on warm roads, creating slick spots that could persist through the night. Northern Indiana is also facing bands of lake-effect snow increasing in intensity, leading to reduced visibility and slick, snow-covered roads, urging caution for drivers.
South central Pennsylvania, including State College, is experiencing widely scattered snow showers and flurries, expected to become more widespread overnight. The combination of falling temperatures and gusty winds may result in icy spots, particularly on untreated bridges and ramps, requiring travelers to be alert and slow down in adverse weather conditions.
In Cleveland, Ohio, an intense lake-effect snow band is moving eastward, with hazards including strong winds and rapidly dropping visibility, affecting several locations in the area. Additionally, a Freeze Warning has been issued for portions of northeast and northern Florida and southeast Georgia, with sub-freezing temperatures expected, prompting measures to protect vulnerable individuals, tender vegetation, and outdoor pets from the cold.
As these winter storms sweep across the region, it is essential for residents to stay informed about weather updates, heed the warnings issued by the NWS, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being during this challenging weather period.
