Impacts from this system will be highest Friday morning. This is when we expect both the worst of the travel conditions as well as the highest risk for power outages. Power outages will likely be isolated in nature. Driving conditions will be pretty rough, especially on the mountain roads. Leave lots of extra time to get to where you need to be Friday morning or push your plans to travel until later in the day or Saturday if possible.
