WEEKEND WINTER STORM: The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch and a Winter Storm Warning for counties in our coverage area. Below, I have attached that graphic to see which counties are included in the warning or the watch. Model guidance is pointing that precipitation will begin in the overnight hours on Friday/ early mornings on Saturday. This will last into midday on Sunday. The exact type is still more uncertain but most of our counties can expect freezing rain and sleet. Below I have also attached what counties are expecting as far as winter types.
