Stay tuned for updates, there could still be changes to this forecast depending on the temperature profile and when and if rain changes to snow in some of these locations. Strong winds are also causing areas of blowing snow as well. The area is expected to get accumulations of 5 to 8 inches of snow, with localized amounts of 10 inches. Areas of snow will mix with rain at times today with snow continuing into tonight. As of right now, it looks as though rain will begin Monday afternoon, and potentially turn to snow Monday night. Expect Monday’s highs to reach the low to mid 70s.
