Up to‌ four inches of snow are possible, potentially creating hazardous road conditions. Motorists⁤ are‌ advised to ‍allow for extra travel ‍time and exercise caution,especially during the evening⁤ commute on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

Another system ⁣is expected to follow closely behind, moving in from ⁣late Wednesday⁣ into thursday. While this second storm may bring a mix of freezing rain and sleet,​ Kines⁣ believes the initial storm will be more impactful.

Kines states, “I guess more evil of the storms will be the first one.”

As​ we head⁤ into ⁣Valentine’s Day weekend, a third storm system is on​ the horizon,⁢ offering a wildcard of ⁣possible​ precipitation types. Snow or sleet could transition into rain, ⁢impacting weekend plans.
