Just when we thought winter was over....

Today marks the first day of spring, but mother nature has different plans... snow, yes snow is back in the forecast. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from this evening until Friday evening. To see which counties this Watch applies to check out the image below. As the storm draws closer, I wouldn't be surprised if the Watch is upgraded to a Warning. Beginning with this evening we will have a chance for light rain which will eventually switch to a rain/snow mix. Shortly after midnight, the precipitation type will switch over to snow, and the snow chance will continue into Friday night. 1-4" of snow could fall tonight with highest accumulations to the south. It will likely be a slippery commute to work for Good Friday. The snow doesn't stop there, another 1-4" could fall during the day on Friday. The bottom line is that the heaviest snow will fall south of I-90. Speaking of heavy snow, since temperatures will be on the warm side, this will likely be a dense snowfall and this storm will give you another opportunity to use your snowblower. Since Easter is this weekend, it will be busy on the roads. Saturday will sport a chance of flurries but roads could still be a bit slick from Friday's snow. By Sunday, traveling appears much better as mostly cloudy skies are expected.

Until Next Time,
