The tier level is due to the blizzard-like conditions hitting the city. The strong winds could make for whiteout conditions, officials warn.
City officials are cautioning residents to postpone any travel plans as the storm rolls through; first responders may not be able to rescue people in time due to the harsh conditions.
Multiple feet of snow is expected for the area.
