Good evening everyone! Attached is the FINAL Prediction for Wednesday, February 20, and the Second Prediction for Thursday, February 21, 2019.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 10 AM Wednesday until 6 AM Thursday. The National Weather Service now expects 1 to 4 inches of snow and 0.1 inches of ice, which is slightly less than previous forecasts. There are reliable outlets (EPAWA) that are calling for 4 to 6 inches of snow, so we need to monitor trends carefully.

As far as school reactions, I still like the idea for early dismissals tomorrow. The 10 AM start time is almost too soon in the day to squeeze in early dismissals, but I think schools should be okay in doing so. In regards to Thursday, a quicker transition to above-freezing temperatures and less snow forecasted by the National Weather Service has reduced the closing odds. However, I am cautiously skeptical because forecasts have a tendency of warming temperatures too quickly in these scenarios. I will be watching for changes throughout the day tomorrow.
