Do you know the difference between a Winter Weather Advisory, Winter Storm Watch and a Winter Storm Warning?
Winter Weather Advisory
A Winter Weather Advisory is issued by the National Weather Service when a low pressure system produces a combination of winter weather (snow, freezing rain, sleet, etc.) that present a hazard, but does not meet warning criteria.
Winter Storm Watch
A winter storm is possible in your area. A Winter Storm Watch is issued by the National Weather Service when there is a potential for heavy snow or significant ice accumulations, usually at least 24 to 36 hours in advance. Tune in to radio or television for more information.
Winter Storm Warning
A winter storm is occurring or will soon occur in your area. A Winter Storm Warning is issued by the National Weather Service when a winter storm is producing or is forecast to produce heavy snow or significant ice accumulations. People in a warning area should take precautions immediately.
More weather information as it becomes available or obvious!
