As we approach the weekend, many area residents are gearing up for the possibility of more wintry conditions hitting the Twin Lakes area starting Monday and lasting up until Thursday.
KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot News spoke with National Weather Service (NWS) Meteorologist Eric Greene to get the latest update. Greene says that with these mixed mode winter precipitation weather events a couple degrees could make the difference, but current models predict the potential for freezing rain up to 0.25″ across much of the listening area.
Stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot for updates as this system develops.

Eric Greene:
Well, a very tricky forecast is in play for sure particularly with these mixed mixed mode precipitation winter weather events where a few degrees of temperature can certainly make a difference in what type of precipitation type we’re looking at. For now, it looks like mainly we’ll be looking at freezing rain potential across a good portion of the listening area.
And again, a tricky forecast as we’re looking at multiple days of potential freezing rain. Mainly a few primary ways though, it looks like Monday night through Tuesday would be the first time frame where we would see any potential accumulation start to start to impact the area, and again on Wednesday into Thursday.
For now, mainly looking at the potential for up to one quarter of an inch [of precipitation], which is kind of that threshold where we would possibly start to see some impacts to trees, infrastructure and such. But that amount of accumulations across the area is certainly subject to change this far out in time.
