PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 511.

Confidence is high in a winter storm moving into the area early Monday morning and exiting around mid-day Tuesday. While amounts may still change depending on when rain changes to snow, most areas are likely (60% to 90%) to see snow by Tuesday morning with hazardous travel developing because of it. Now is the time to prepare for the winter weather so you don’t have to be out in it on Monday or Tuesday.
