1-WINTER STORM WATCH in effect from Friday night through Saturday morning. Light ice and possibly 4-5 inches of snow possible.

2- We are also in a SLIGHT RISK for severe weather before the winter weather occurs. If storms occur, our likely time would be from 11 am to 7 pm.

3-This said, No need to panic, we’ve seen this before. A front will push in with the severe weather threat and then much colder air will push in giving us that winter weather potential.
