Special Weather Statement issued January 17 at 3:13AM EST by NWS Wilmington
(details ...)
...SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT...
Snow showers will move from west to east across the region from
mid morning into mid afternoon. Some of the snow may mix with rain
along and south of the Ohio River. An inch or less of wet snow is
expected on grassy and elevated surfaces. Although road
temperatures will remain above freezing and therefore wet, some
reduced visibilities may occur in the more robust snow showers.
For tonight, snow showers will become scattered this evening. The
precipitation will then gradually taper off from west to east
overnight. Additional snow accumulations will be less than an
inch. As temperatures fall below freezing, a few slick spots may
develop.
If planning travel today and tonight, be alert for rapidly
changing visibilities and slick spots on untreated pavement.
