Groundhog Day isn’t ‘til Monday, but the upcoming forecast is looking awfully familiar. Last week’s Winter Storm Fern brought freezing rain, ice, sleet, and hazardous wintry conditions, but this weekend, we can expect potential for at least 2 inches of fluffy snow.

A Winter Storm Warning will go into effect Friday, Jan. 30 at 4 p.m. Expect to see flurries start to fall Friday evening and accumulate through Saturday afternoon.

Continue to monitor the forecast + revisit those preparedness tips from last week.
