Similar to yesterday's forecast, the NWS is advising people to keep their travel plans fluid due to snow and the potential for high winds, which could make driving difficult.
Due to the system being four days away, things can still and likely will change. The next forecast from the NWS on this storm will be issued on Thursday morning.
