A winter weather watch means that the conditions suggest severe weather is possible and meteorologists have medium confidence that a winter storm could occur and bring heavy snow, sleet or freezing rain and cause significant impacts. When a winter weather watch is issued, you should be prepared for if/when the winter storm arrives.
The cold front arrives Friday with the arctic air moving in Saturday. The temperatures tumble from highs in the 70s on Friday to highs in the lower-40s, and even upper 30s by Sunday. Morning lows drop into the 20s and 30s. These will be the coldest temperatures we’ve seen so far this season.
The National Weather Service issued winter weather warnings for 12 states as 24 inches of snow and strong, 65 mph winds approach bringing freezing temperatures.
