..WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow
accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations around one
tenth to a quarter of an inch possible.
* WHERE...Portions of Big Bend and Panhandle Florida and south
central and southwest Georgia.
* WHEN...From Tuesday evening through early Wednesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous by Tuesday night. The weight of
the ice on tree limbs may down power lines and cause power
outages. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Wednesday morning commute.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.
Persons should consider delaying all travel. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution. Consider taking a winter
storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains,
booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.
Also take water, a first aid kit, and anything else that would help
you survive in case you become stranded due to the very cold weather.
