    Winter Weather Update: We are now in a ***WINTER STORM WATCH*** until Midnight Wednesday. There hasn't been a lot of change to our thinking at this point, which leads to a higher confidence level in our forecast. We are still looking for a high impact winter weather event to start late Monday night through Tuesday afternoon. It is expected that Tuesday morning will be the worst of the event, which will also impact your morning commute. We believe the main impacts will be snowfall.
