A WINTER STORM WATCH goes into effect Tuesday evening through Wednesday for much of the area.
Snow will start to fall tomorrow night and continue heavy at times through the day on Wednesday. Significant accumulations are possible in the watch area. Traveling will be difficult and not recommended. Winds will become quite gusty causing blowing snow which may result in lower visibility.
Totals may change as track of storm becomes more apparent
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow accumulations which may impact travel.
Above totals are preliminary and are subject to change depending on track of storm.

MaryEllen, please….cover up your cleavage….and don't put your black microphone right in the middle of it against your light colored sweater! That microphone could be clipped higher towards your neck. Is it ratings week or something? You and the evening news anchor seem to have something for letting it all hang out. It does not look very professional.

It's disappointing when people feel like they can say anything they want to people via the internet. She's a real person. And you are being extremely rude. If you don't like the style of her dress you could easily watch another local news station.
