Special Weather Statement
A line of snow showers will likely pass through the area along a
cold front between 2 AM and 4 AM overnight. The heavier snow
showers will last about 10 to 20 minutes with visibilities locally
reduced to near one-half mile. Snow may coat the ground and

Therefore, any wet or slushy untreated surfaces may become icy
into Thursday morning.
Please use extra caution if you are travelling during this time.
Drive slowly and leave plenty of distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you so you are prepared for any sudden changes
in visibility.
