A strong area of low pressure will move through the region early to middle of next week (Jan 8-10), bringing windy conditions along with a mix of rain and snow.
At the moment, strong winds look to be the primary threat. However, uncertainty remains in the path of the low which would impact precipitation types and amounts.
SNOW POTENTIAL SATURDAY
A system will pass to our south this weekend providing chances for rain and wet snow. Present indications are that any snowfall accumulations will be light.
