Good morning from the First Alert Storm Center

A fairly powerful storm is slowly making its way in across the area today. So far the winds are already picking up at the coast, where we have a High Wind Warning beginning at noon. Look for sustained winds between 35-45 mph with gusts above 60 mph possible. Inland spots today will be generally breezy, but occasionally windy. As for the rain, that will also push in towards the late morning and early afternoon. The rain will start to get fairly heavy this afternoon and then again tonight. Speaking of tonight, once the rain starts the cooler air will work its way in, the snow levels will lower and the snow will start to pile up. 6-10" of snow possible tonight, with 2-3' possible through Sunday. All in all, this is a strong Fall storm that we're so use to.

Another storm renews the rain Friday night and Saturday followed by a short break Sunday.

Have A Great Friday,
