Winter storm warnings were in place for 26 states across the U.S. from the National Weather Service (NWS) early Friday, with up to 14 inches of snow forecast for some parts of the country. Snow can cause travel disruptions and create hazardous driving conditions.

Right now, we are still 48 hours away from the winter event, but as we get closer, it is likely to be upgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory or a Winter Storm Warning.
