Tuesday’s commute home could be kind of slippery. Snow showers — the first of the season — are expected to hit about 4 p.m., followed by a steep drop in temperatures.
Here is the latest (as of about 2 p.m.) from the National Weather Service:
…SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONG WINDS EXPECTED TO IMPACT RUSH HOURÂ THIS EVENING…
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING DURING RUSHÂ HOUR. THE FRONT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ANDÂ STRONG GUSTY WINDS. THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL START TO MOVE INTO THEÂ METRO AREA BY 4 PM AND SHOULD CLEAR THE REGION BY 8 PM.
THE SNOW SHOWERS MAY BE LOCALLY HEAVY AND COULD DROP A QUICKÂ COATING OF SNOW IN SOME AREAS. WHILE ROAD TEMPERATURES ARE WARM ATÂ PRESENT…GUSTY WINDS AND COLDER AIR MOVING INTO THE AREA MAYÂ RESULT IN PATCHES OF ICE ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS THIS EVENING. THEÂ GUSTY WINDS MAY ALSO REACH 50 MPH WHICH COULD CAUSE SPOTTY MINORÂ DAMAGE.
EVENING COMMUTERS SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION AND TAKE THEIR TIME. VISIBILITY COULD DROP RAPIDLY FOR A BRIEF PERIOD DURING HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS…AND ROADS WHICH APPEAR WET LATER THIS EVENING COULD IN FACT BE ICY.
