A winter storm watch takes effect at 6 AM on Wednesday. That will remain in effect until 6 PM on Friday. A wind chill watch takes effect at midnight on Thursday and will remain in effect until 6 PM on Christmas Eve.
Andrew Kalin with the National Weather Service says this storm system will bring several hazards. Snow will begin Wednesday. The snow will continue into daybreak on Thursday. Winds will increase to 35-45 MPH creating possible blizzard-like conditions. Temperatures will drop even further below zero from -35 to -50 degrees.
