The winter storm watch is now in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.
Low pressure will develop across the lower mississippi valley on saturday, and is expected to move northeast and pass through the mid atlantic region Saturday night and Sunday.
The exact timing, track and strength details associated with this storm remain uncertain at this time, however much of the mid atlantic region has the potential to receive a significant wintry mix of precipitation Saturday and Sunday. Latest guidance does suggest that there is a better chance for prolonged icing as opposed to snow. The heaviest precipitation is expected to occur overnight Saturday into early Sunday.
Preparations should be made now for hazardous winter weather across the region Saturday afternoon through Sunday.
In addition, wind gusts up to 45 mph will be possible over the land areas on Sunday which could cause significant downing of trees and power lines where ice accumulates. Widespread power outages are possible.
