Winter Storm Warming Monday Night

The mild winter we have had to this point has taken a turn today. The National Weather Service reports that we can expect 5-7 inches by morning, with a Winter Storm Warning until 3:00AM. It’s time for Marion to break out the plows in full force as we‘re in for a potentially rough couple of days.

In a blustery weather outlook issued Monday afternoon, the National Weather Service said that temperatures will drop to zero degrees tonight and well below zero Tuesday and Wednesday, at times.

The forecast for the Marion area showed the following:

• 100-percent chance of snow the rest of Monday with up to 7 inches possible. Low of zero.
• A high of 9 Tuesday with patchy blowing snow. Wind chills as low as -15 during the day and a low of -11 with wind chills as cold as -25 Tuesday night.

• High of -6 on Wednesday, with more blowing snow and a wind chill much colder before an overnight low of -20.

Please check your tires, leave plenty early if you have to drive, and take other precautions to be safe on these snow-covered roads.
