Red, Yellow, Green light Call map 1 of 3


A good what i want to call my 1st red light/green light/ yellow light diagram.

RED LIGHT- Usually this means stop, but for this wintry situation this is where = the highest confidence of a major winter storm exists. This includes where most if not all of the precipitation until Wed Morning will be Snow/Sleet/Freezing Rain. Snow could accumulate up to 6 inches here or 1 to 4 if a lot of sleet mixes in. Ice may also accumulate up to .1 to .3 inches if warmer solutions apply.

GREEN LIGHT- Snow/Sleet/Freezing Rain/ even mixing with Rain can occur here. This area might have the most precipitation and might if cold enough has the most wintry precipitation. 1 to 4 inches of snow and sleet and .1 to .3 inches of ice is possible here.

YELLOW LIGHT- Sleet/Freezing Rain/Rain is the main precipitation. This area more than the others will probably receive rain near the end. The question is does this area get spared from greatest ice. If it doesn't up to 1/2 to 9/10th inch of ice in local areas is to be expected with devastating consequences in the area effect on absolute worse case. In best case maybe 1/10th inch of ice than a cold 33 to 35 degree rain that could be heavy.
