Good Friday Morning! Below is your latest forecast update ***Please continue to check back often as this winter storm is still fluid, and forecast model guidance and disagreement is still high:

Current watches, warnings and advisories across the area…widespread winter storm warnings issued for the threat of heavy ice accumulations close to 1.0″, treacherous travel and power outages into the weekend:

As discussed over the past few days and in the video, there are no parts of this forecast that are set in stone. Shown below are 51 different models and their location of the low pressure system Sat night, we can see there is still a decent spread. The low being 25-50 miles different than what’s modeled and temps being a degree or two higher/lower than what is modeled will make a MAJOR difference on precip type, rates, and accumulations:

Favored simulated radar from 7pmET Friday night to 7amET Sunday morning that we showed in the video…for all references on timing, please watch the video above thoroughly:
