While new model trends are pushing the storm system on a more easterly path, high winds and new powdery snowfall will lead to the possibility of blizzard conditions Thursday night (1/6) 
This event will generally be a two-parter. Light snow is expected Wed. night into Thurs. afternoon. Then, winds will kick in and another round of snow will fall late Thurs. afternoon through Fri. night. Blizzard conditions/frigid temps will be possible during this time. (2/6)
These will be the approximate times when each facet of the storm/frigid temperatures will have the most impacts to the public. (3/6)
Wind speeds will reach up to 45 to 55mph, especially Friday morning into Saturday. This will create reduced visibility and drifting on roads that will make travel difficult. (4/6)
Along with the snow and wind, frigid air temps with the high wind speeds will lead to wind chills well below zero leading to advisory criteria conditions. Minimum wind chills for Friday and Saturday morning are shown below (5/6)
As the details of the storm continue to come together, please stay tuned into tomorrow as we continue to assess our headlines for potential changes as confidence increases. (6/6) #wiwx
