The event will start as snow late Saturday afternoon and evening. Some of our models are hinting at several inches of snow falling Saturday night before the snow transitions into sleet and/or freezing rain into Sunday morning.
We’ll likely have some ice accumulations Sunday before rising temperatures cause the freezing rain to change over into just rain.
But here’s the catch! As the system winds down, more snow could develop.
We’ll be watching this weekend’s storm very closely — Sunday is a First Alert.
