Wind will be the main impact as most areas will only pick up 1-3″ of snow. But pairing the high winds with even a small amount of snow will result in whiteout conditions and drifting.
A Winter Storm Watch (blue) and High Wind Watch (mustard yellow) are in place and are expected to be upgraded as it becomes more clear who will be within the blizzard conditions.
Stay tuned!
