FRIDAY…

…WIND CHILL WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT…

  • WHAT…For the Winter Storm Warning, combination of snow,
    blowing snow, and wind expected. Total snow accumulations of 2
    to 4 inches. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph. For the Wind Chill
    Watch, dangerously cold wind chills possible. Wind chills as
    low as 30 below zero.
  • WHERE…Portions of East Central Indiana and West Central Ohio.
  • WHEN…For the Winter Storm Warning, from 7 PM Thursday to 5
    PM EST Friday. For the Wind Chill Watch, from late Thursday
    night through late Friday night.
  • IMPACTS…Plan on slippery road conditions. Areas of blowing
    snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous
    conditions could impact the Friday morning commute as well as
    holiday travel. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches and
    cause power outages. The dangerously cold wind chills could
    cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
  • ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Temperatures will drop sharply in the
    matter of a few hours during Thursday night, rapidly falling
    well below freezing, leading to the potential for a flash
    freeze. This will cause travel conditions to rapidly
    deteriorate.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in
your vehicle in case of an emergency.
