Winter Weather Advisory and Travel Concerns
As winter approaches, a significant winter weather advisory has been issued across various counties, impacting local travel and daily routines. The advisory, encompassing Kent County, Providence County, Bristol County, and Newport County, is due to snow accumulation that is greater than originally anticipated.
Meteorologist Stephen Metric emphasizes that the snow has been heavier than expected, attributed to a shift in the storm’s track closer to the coastline and an extension of cold air. This has resulted in thicker snowfalls that could significantly affect road conditions, especially during the evening commute when visibility is reduced, and road surfaces may become slick.
