Winter storm tonight into Saturday.
Hazards:
Significantly reduced visibility due to heavy snow and blowing snow.
Snowfall accumulations of 15 to 30 cm. Peak snowfall rates up to 8 cm/hr possible.
Risk of freezing rain.
Timing:
Tonight through Saturday morning.
Discussion:
A first wave of snow will continue to bring snowfall to the region today. There will then be a brief break in the precipitation this evening before a second and much stronger system moves in tonight. Heavy snow and blowing snow will develop and significantly reduce visibility, creating dangerous travel conditions. Snow may mix with ice pellets or freezing rain at times tonight.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays.
Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
