National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists have issued a winter storm watch for three northeastern states on Tuesday, advising people in some regions to avoid traveling once snow begins to fall later this week.
The weather alerts were issued by the Baltimore, Maryland, and the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, forecast offices, and included alerts for Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. The winter storm watch will go into effect on Thursday afternoon and remain in place until Saturday, when the storm moves out of the region.
