My Mountain Town Weather from Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton:

Winter Storm Warning 6AM Tuesday to 12Noon Wednesday...
Another round of snow is expected for the foothills, Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. We'll have a period of upslope conditions, and sufficient precipitable moisture, to generate another significant snowfall. Bands of locally-heavy snowfall are possible, especially Tuesday night. Additionally, temperatures will remain very cold until Thursday. Icing and snow pack on the roads will make for hazardous driving conditions for the Tuesday PM and Wednesday AM commutes. And don't forget to use our interactive, high-resolution radar map at the top of our weather page to track the snow coming through your area. mymountaintown.com/expert-local-weather
