NOAA’s ²©ÌåÓý is expanding its local Winter Weather Pages. These pages, now available for 77 of the 122 local ²©ÌåÓý offices, include three experimental forecast products to explain the range of snowfall possibilities from oncoming storms up to three days in advance.
Explaining the range of possibilities allows everyone to make better decisions on what action to take, based not only on the most likely expected snowfall, but also on the maximum and minimum potential of the storm. Knowing the forecast and adequately preparing can lessen the impacts associated with hazardous winter weather.
