HCA ROAD STORM SERVICE UPDATE

Summarized from the NOAA National Weather Service forecast Friday morning:  Snow possible today after 3:00 p.m., tonight, Saturday, Sunday night, Monday, and Monday night, with rain Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night.  Below freezing temperatures with blustery wind chills as low as -8F Saturday night and gusts up to 40 mph.  From our snow removal contractor Friday morning:  " ... this evening we are expecting snow flurries/showers.  While the predicted amount of precipitation is negligible and plowing operations are not anticipated it is cold enough that whatever does fall will stick and potentially cause slick and icy conditions.  We ... will be making sand/salt/chemical applications to combat any slippery conditions as required."
