A winter storm is expected to impact the region Sunday and Sunday night, bringing accumulating snow, increasing winds, and potentially hazardous travel conditions.
Snow may begin mixed with rain during the morning and early afternoon Sunday, but colder air will move in quickly, changing all precipitation to snow by late afternoon. Temperatures will reach a high near 35 degrees before falling later in the day.
Snowfall rates will increase Sunday evening and overnight, with heavy snow possible at times. Total snowfall accumulation is expected to reach 6 to 12 inches, with the heaviest snow falling overnight Sunday into early Monday morning.
Winds will also increase significantly, with sustained winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. Blowing and drifting snow may reduce visibility and create dangerous travel conditions.
Residents are urged to prepare now, avoid unnecessary travel during the height of the storm, and allow extra time for the Monday morning commute.
