THE CITY OF PRESCOTT WANTS THEIR CITIZENS TO KNOW 5 THINGS ABOUT WINTER WEATHER FORECASTS.

1. SNOW OR ICE TOTALS CAN VARY GREATLY OVER A SHORT DISTANCE. WHILE YOU MAY BE FINE IN ONE LOCATION, 10MILES AWAY COULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WEATHER PATTERN.

2. THE WINTER FORECAST COULD CHANGE FREQUENTLY: CHECK WEATHER .GOV FOR THE LATEST WEATHER UPDATE.

3. FOCUS MORE ON THE STORM’S IMPACT NOT THE STATED NUMBERS FROM THE STORM.

4. KNOW YOUR WINTER WEATHER TERMS, IF A WATCH IS ISSUED GET PREPARED, IF A WARNING OR ADVISORY IS ISSUED TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION.

5. HAVE A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR WEATHER INFORMATION SUCH AS RADIO OR TV STATION PROGRAM.

ALWAYS CHECK THE WEATHER AND ADOT FOR WEATHER AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BEFORE TRAVELLING.
