Greatest totals of 6-10” forecast northwest of the I-95 corridor. A wintry mix, or even predominantly rain is possible for areas near and southeast of the I-95 corridor, with snow totals up to 3” possible in these areas.

Wednesday January 22: Dangerously cold conditions with minimum wind chills below 0° are likely to lead to impacts for people, animals, and infrastructure.
