Watch to watch for: Per Weather.com, the worst of the storm will be in areas where there have been winter storm watches and warnings. Driving will become dangerous in these areas.

  • “There are still some uncertainties in the forecast, including exactly where low pressure tracks and where the below-freezing air near the ground will set up and for how long,” according to Weather.com. “This could lead to changes in the forecast in the next day or so, which is typical for most winter storms.”
