WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 5 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 7 AM EST WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and 7 inches. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph mainly after snow has fallen. * WHERE...Interior Waldo County. * WHEN...From 5 PM this afternoon to 7 AM EST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Significant snowfall and periods of heavy snowfall rates will combine with low visibility to create very dangerous driving conditions. Heavy, wet snow will cause weighted tree limbs of conifers and leafed trees, leading to snapped branches. Snow will change over to rain, with a period of sleet and/or freezing rain at transition which will cause slushy roads and further degrade driving conditions. Plan on delaying travel to allow time for road conditions to improve. The hazardous conditions will impact the Wednesday morning commute. Winds are expected to become strong and gusty as snow transitions to rain. The combination of fallen snow clinging to branches and power lines and increasing winds will likely lead to additional power outages.
