Further south, there is also a Winter Storm Watch for Carroll and Tuscarawas counties from Sunday afternoon until Monday afternoon. Again, heavy snow possible with total snow accumulations potentially ranging between 4 and 10 inches.

"Something to note- the watch isn't the only area getting the snow, but as of now they have the best chance for 6"+," says 3News Chief Meteorologist Betsy Kling. "There will be impacts & accumulation otherwise & elsewhere. Still many more details to iron out."
