In like a lion...weather conditions could get dicey on Wednesday
In like a lion, is the old saying...and we have an incoming storm. When it finishes raining at 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning, expect that rain to turn to snow from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Look for winds between 50 and 60 miles per hour. Add in 1-3" of snow and there will be low visibility conditions. Travelling will be hazardous with whiteout conditions.
