The type and amount of precipitation will depend on the path of the low-pressure system moving across the Gulf states. Recent model trends indicate a messy transition zone across the central Tri-State region near the Ohio River.

With four days remaining before the storm, these predictions may shift. Stay updated as new information becomes available, and prepare for wintry weather and potential travel disruptions across the region on Sunday and Monday.
