The National Weather Service forecasts a weather system moving through our area on Thursday morning, December 5^th between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Key details are as follows:

• Temperatures: Mid-30s to low-40s.
• Precipitation: 56% chance, starting as rain with the potential for snow showers.
• Visibility: May be reduced due to strong winds accompanying the system.
• Road Conditions: Road temperatures are expected to stay above freezing, making significant roadway accumulation unlikely.

The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) will continue to monitor the weather overnight. Vehicles will be mobilized at 5:00 AM to monitor and address bridge decks and elevated surfaces, which are more prone to freezing. Crews will remain on standby to handle any additional roadway concerns.
