Travel impacts will become more widespread Saturday as snow overspreads the area and a few places see some light icing. In addition, gusty northwest winds will lead to some blowing and drifting snow, including into Saturday evening after snow ends. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for much of the area.
Bitter cold is set after Saturday`s system, with highs mostly in the 20s and lows falling into the single digits and teens through Tuesday morning.
