Forecast Discussion:

Heavy snow develops tonight. Significant accumulations are likely with some uncertainty east/southeast. The morning commute will be difficult and snow will be wet, not fluffy and dry, so removal will be more difficult for anyone who needs to shovel it. Be sure to download the WBNG Storm Track 12 weather app for more detailed informational videos.

Heavy snow tapers toward morning but winds increase and could cause some power outages and downed limbs/trees as a result of the heavy, wet snow on them. Winds could gust 30-35mph and some rain or snow showers are expected through the day. Highs climb into the low to mid 40s.

Wednesday looks quiet with some showers returning Thursday. Temperatures remain in the 50s for the period through Saturday. By Sunday we should be back to around 70!
