Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for Wednesday. The Winter Storm watch is no longer in effect.

Based on everything I’ve seen today, I’m lowering my snow forecast to 1-3″. There’s even a good chance we could see less than this.

Reasons for the update:

• not as much cold air available
• there is no real cold high pressure to the north of us. rather it will be to the east of us and that will help promote the warmup that will take place
• the air before the storm is very dry. This will prevent any snow accumulation for the first several hours of the storm. At this time I don’t expect snow to start in our area until mid-day or slightly later
• like so many storms of this winter, we will transition to sleet and freezing rain to rain. I expect us to start this transition wednesday evening
