A major storm system will move in starting tonight, with the potential for severe thunderstorms before rain transitions to snow and high winds usher in blizzard conditions.
A HIGH WIND WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO 7 PM WEDNESDAY. North winds will reach speeds of 30 to 45 mph, with gusts possibly hitting 65 mph.
A BLIZZARD WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM TO 10 PM WEDNESDAY. Blizzard conditions are anticipated, with snow accumulations ranging from 2 to 7 inches, and locally higher amounts are possible.
