Early next week, we are expecting this calm pattern to come to an end. There will be a little more moisture with this system. This storm looks to pack quite the punch. Snow will move in overnight Monday into Tuesday. Snow will likely last all day on Tuesday with strong wind gusts. There is still some uncertainty with this system so some things could still change.
