** SEVERE WEATHER RISK UPDATE **

UPDATED 8:47 AM

For: Today Sunday, March 16th

A strong cold front will cross the region late this morning and into the afternoon hours, bringing a round of potential strong to severe thunderstorms. The best timing for these stronger thunderstorms will be between 11am and 8pm, earlier the farther west you are. These storms may bring the risk of all weather hazards.

ZONE 3 - The highest confidence for severe thunderstorms. Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest thunderstorms may produce wind gusts greater than 65 mph. A few isolated weak tornadoes cannot be ruled out. The best timing for this region is 12-4pm.

ZONE 2- Higher confidence area for stronger thunderstorms. Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest thunderstorms may produce wind gusts greater than 60mph, hail, and the risk of an isolated tornado. The best timing for this region is 12-8pm.

ZONE 1- Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest thunderstorms may produce wind gusts greater than 50mph and small hail. The best timing for this region is 11am - 8pm, the earlier the farther west.

Keep in mind, not everyone will see strong to severe thunderstorms due to the nature of convection. It will be good to remain aware if you will be out and about throughout the afternoon hours. Have ways of receiving severe weather alerts and be on alert for rapidly changing conditions. Some good options are your local TV meteorologist weather app and weather.gov.

Stay tuned!

Stay warm friends!

** FRIGID MORNING TUESDAY **

Tomorrow morning will bring some of the coldest wind chill values this week. With the continuation of wind gusts between 25-45 mph tomorrow morning and temperatures in the single digits and teens, wind chill values will be at or below zero for everyone in the morning. If you are planning to be outdoors tomorrow morning, be sure to take precautions. These low wind chill values could result in hypothermia or frostbite if exposed for prolonged periods of time. Wear appropriate clothing such as a hat, coat, and gloves. Stay tuned and stay warm!

Stay safe during the next round of weather friends!

** MID-WEEK WINTRY MESS **

Tomorrow's system has gotten more complicated in terms of timing and precipitation types. The overall speed of the system has trended quicker, which may bring impacts more on Wednesday afternoon and evening with the Thursday morning commute trending a lot better. Otherwise, a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is expected.

AREA A - Isolated to scattered freezing drizzle and sleet will be possible between 12-6pm on Wednesday afternoon. There may be periods of snow, during heavier precipitation rates. After 6pm, precipitation will overspread the region in the form of widespread freezing rain and sleet. These icy precipitation types will continue throughout the evening until around 2-5am. This is where the icy precipitation will change to rain, although some colder valleys and mountaintops may be icy until the morning hours. Untreated roadways, bridges, and sidewalks may be slick and icy anywhere between 12pm Wednesday and 7am Thursday.

AREA B - Isolated to scattered freezing drizzle and sleet will be possible between 12-6pm on Wednesday afternoon. There may be periods of snow, during heavier precipitation rates. After 6pm, precipitation will overspread the region in the form of widespread freezing rain and sleet. These icy precipitation types will continue throughout the evening until 8-11pm before precipitation changes over to plain rain by around midnight Thursday. Untreated roadways, bridges, and sidewalks may be slick and icy anywhere between 12pm Wednesday and 4am Thursday.

AREA C - A brief period of snow, sleet, and freezing rain may be expected between 10am - 2pm before temperatures warm above freezing changing everyone to rain. Untreated roadways, bridges, and sidewalks may be slick and icy anywhere between 10am Wednesday and 2pm Wednesday.

Stay tuned to updates and be aware of possible slick and icy conditions throughout the day and evening tomorrow. The worst impacts will likely occur during the evening hours after the sun is down, which may inhibit road treatment. Even if temperatures warm above 32degF, surface temperatures may lag behind for a few hours. Stay safe!
