Daily Weather Discussion from NWS it changes daily
Do you know what it means when you are in a winter weather watch, advisory, or warning?
A winter storm watch is issued to give advance notice when a significant winter storm may affect your area within 18 to 72 hours. A watch will often be issued when there is still uncertainty in the path and strength of a developing winter storm. Usually the winter storm watch will be upgraded to a warning when the nature and location of the weather event become more apparent. In any case, when a watch is issued for your area, it is time to prepare for severe winter weather.
When severe winter weather is imminent or already occurring, a warning will be issued.
The most dangerous of all winter storms is the blizzard. The deadly combination of fierce winds and snow reduces visibility to near zero and creates wind chills well below zero. A blizzard warning is issued when winds of 35 miles an hour will occur in combination with considerable falling and/or blowing snow for at least 3 hours. Visibilities will frequently be reduced to less than 1/4 mile.
Winter Storm Warnings are issued for other severe winter weather, including:
- snowfall of 6 inches or more in 12 hours or 8 inches in 24 hours,
- a dangerous coating of ice (usually 1/4 inch thick or more),
- 1/2 inch or more of sleet accumulation
- and/or life-threatening wind chills reaching minus 30 or lower.
- 3 to 5 inches of snow
- ice accumulations less than 1/4 inch,
- blowing snow significantly reducing visibilities,
- hazardous drifting of snow,
- and/or wind chills from -20 to -29 degrees Fahrenheit.
- a WATCH means it's time to get ready,
- an ADVISORY means that conditions are hazardous,
- and a WARNING means the situation is life-threatening.
If the weather changes I will let you know
