The most significant March snowstorm in several years will affect the area on Tuesday. Snow will likely be heavy at times into Tuesday evening, and this will have significant travel impacts, especially on the afternoon and early evening commute. Winds will increase in the late afternoon and evening, leading to blowing and drifting snow and further reduced visibility, especially in open areas. Avoid travel if possible on Tuesday and if travel is absolutely necessary, prepare for extremely hazardous conditions and much longer drive times.
