Both the Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory are now in effect until 7pm tonight, with snow accumulations of 3-6 inches expected in the warning areas and 2-4 inches expected in the advisory areas.
The snow is expected to start soon if it hasn’t already and continue through the afternoon. A bigger story could possibly be the wind chills, which are expected to drop below zero today. The wet snow that is likely to fall could freeze if it’s not removed, which could cause icy conditions.
The NWS is forecasting ‘High End Amount’ map (10% chance) now shows 7-8 inches possible across the area while the ‘Low End Amount’ shows 1-3 inches if snow depending on your location.
Per the NWS, “Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions will impact travel. Snow will overspread the area this morning and continue through the afternoon before tapering off during the evening. Snowfall rates could approach 1 inch an hour at times. Temperatures will fall into the teens Sunday night so any lingering moisture on area roadways will freeze. Slow down and use caution while traveling.”
