Marshall County remains under a Travel Watch, effective immediately, due to persistent hazardous road conditions.
Current Conditions & Immediate Outlook:
- Plowing Efforts: Highway Department crews are actively plowing, but strong winds continue to cause significant blowing and drifting snow, negating some clearing efforts and maintaining dangerous travel.
- Additional Snow Today: An additional 1 to 3 inches of lake effect snow is possible throughout the day today.
- Scattered Lake Effect Snow: Expect numerous scattered lake effect snow showers this afternoon into early evening. While accumulations will generally be light (less than an inch), below-freezing temperatures and gusty southwest winds up to 30 mph will significantly reduce visibility and create patchy blowing snow, especially during heavier showers. Roads may become slick.
-
Future Outlook:
- Monday Evening Snow: Another few inches of snow are possible Monday evening, which could disrupt Tuesday morning's commute. We are closely monitoring this developing situation.
- Travel Watch Duration: The Travel Watch will remain in effect until conditions significantly improve. There is currently no timetable for a downgrade to a lower travel advisory.
Safety Recommendations: A Travel Watch means that conditions are threatening to the safety of the public.
- Essential Travel Only: Only essential travel, such as to and from work or for emergencies, is recommended. Non-essential travel should be avoided.
- Drive with Extreme Caution: If you must travel, reduce speeds significantly, increase following distance, and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility and road surface.
- Stay Informed: Monitor local media and official Marshall County EMA channels for the latest updates.
