WINTER STORM WARNING. HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING…
A strong cold front will combine with a weather disturbance to bring wintry precipitation to the region tonight into Tuesday morning.
Accumulating snowfall will occur as temperatures fall rapidly behind the cold front. With temperatures falling below freezing, icing of roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will be a concern throughout the morning hours. In addition, strong wind will combine with the low temperatures to make for very low wind chill readings in the teens.
Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of around 2 inches are expected. Wind chills in the teens.
