<\/p>\nGood afternoon, everyone. Our Ice Storm is about to really ramp it up a notch as heavy freezing rain, sleet and some snow works into the region late today and continues into Thursday. Overall, the forecast remains in good shape, but I’m nudging the high risk for ice a bit north and broadening the risk area.<\/p>\n

That Ice Storm Warning has been pushed farther north and I suspect we may see a few more counties added on the north side of it. Here’s my updated map for the increasing risk for this ice storm…<\/p>\n
Sleet and snow will also get involved, especially across the northern half of the state. Several inches of snow and sleet may show up for some. Precipitation type totals for any one location continue to be problematic.<\/p>\n The computer forecast models appear to be trending in the direction of what the NAM has been showing for the past few days and that’s a major ice storm for more areas.
