What to do during a Winter Weather Advisory
Slow down on roads, allow extra travel time and expect slippery walkways.
Watch vs warning vs advisory
A watch means the ingredients are in place and the hazard is possible: be prepared. A warning means the hazard is happening, imminent or very likely: act now to protect life and property. An advisory is for less severe conditions that are still a nuisance or risky, and a statement is information that falls below those levels.
The companion product to the Winter Weather Advisory is the Winter Storm Warning, with 2 active now.
