Winter Storm Watch issued December 24 at 12:24PM EST until December 26 at 7:00PM EST by NWS Cleveland OH
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow
accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations between one
tenth and three tenths of an inch possible.
* WHERE...Crawford and Southern Erie Counties.
* WHEN...From late Thursday night through Friday evening.
* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous. Significant ice accumulation on
power lines and tree limbs may cause widespread power outages.
Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could
impact the Friday morning and evening commutes along with any
holiday travel.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation will spread over the area late
Thursday into Friday morning as a warm front begins to lift north.
On the leading edge of this precipitation, cold surface
temperatures will likely result in rain freezing on contact,
especially on untreated surfaces which may make travel hazardous.
As surface temperatures warm above freezing Friday afternoon,
additional rainfall will no longer freeze on contact and
conditions should gradually improve.
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden
changes in road conditions. Leave plenty of room between you and the
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is
winterized and in good working order.
