A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THE SNOW MAY FALL HEAVY AT
TIMES AS THE STORM MOVES JUST TO THE EAST OF OUR AREA.
WARMER AIR MAY PUSH IN FROM THE OCEAN AND CAUSE A MIX OR CHANGE
TO PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COAST, KEEPING SNOW AMOUNTS LESS THAN
AREAS JUST INLAND. HOWEVER, AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY EVEN THESE
LOCATIONS MAY CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW AND POTENTIALLY RECEIVE
HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS.
THE SNOW COULD FALL HEAVY AT TIMES, WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH STRONG
NORTHERLY WINDS, MAY PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
THIS MAY CAUSE DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED CLOSER TO AT ALONG THE
COAST.
A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW, SLEET, OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE
TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.
