A significant winter storm is likely this weekend. Main concern is the potential of significant ice accumulations producing dangerous if not impassable travel conditions, down trees and power lines, and power outages.
Timing of Wintry Precipitation across the area. Significant icing is expected.
Arctic Cold temperatures are expected early next week. Wind chills will drop to near zero Monday and Tuesday, and 5 to 15 degrees below zero across the higher elevations.
Be prepared for the upcoming winter storm. Prepare and plan for several days of difficult to impossible travel conditions, and have ways to stay warm (safely!) in cold weather.
