The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team is issuing a FIRSTALERT from noon Thursday through Saturday night for a powerful storm that will bring rain, wind and freezing temperatures to the area. Timing and forecast HERE:
The storm on the way is already hitting parts of the upper Midwest with sub-zero wind-chill and blizzard conditions. This same storm will plow its way across the country arriving in our area Thursday morning.
Another huge element of the storm that we need to prepare for is the temperature freefall on Friday. Around 7 a.m. temperatures will start out in the low 50s, but as the arctic blast arrives, temperatures plunge into the 20s during the afternoon and into the teens by 7 p.m. Any standing water will freeze into solid ice, which could cause pockets of slippery travel. In addition to icy spots from the re-freeze, a band of gusty snow showers is possible with briefly low visibility Friday afternoon.
