Phase two begins midday on Monday. After a morning with just some mist or drizzly flurries, a 3-5-hour period of new accumulating snow will arrive in the afternoon through the start of the evening rush hour. A fresh coating will reinforce the dense snow on the ground.

A First Alert Weather Day is in effect for wind gusts that will climb upwards of 40 MPH with our next round of rain.

An Arctic front brings bitterly cold wind chills in the teens; another potent system ushers in the risk of wintry precipitation for Thursday and Friday.

We expect a winter storm to cause significant travel impacts and potential power outages Sunday night through Tuesday morning.
