The latest storm Friday night, March 1 and continuing through around 9 a.m. Saturday, March 2 will bring 3 to 5 inches of accumulation.

A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect from 10 p.m. Friday until noon Saturday.

Saturday's high temperature will climb to nearly 40 degrees with wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour and a wind-chill factor between 20 and 30.

The second storm of the weekend is expected to arrive late in the afternoon on Sunday, March 3 in the form of rain as the day's high temperature will again be near 40.

Then comes the third -- and strongest storm -- Sunday night into Monday morning, March 4. There is the potential for a significant snowfall from this system, the National Weather Service said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook statement issued early Friday morning.

While the track and strength of the storm are still uncertain, there is the potential for between 4 to 8 inches of accumulation overnight Sunday until late in the morning on Monday.

It's too early to predict more precise accumulation amounts.
