Precipitation may begin as light rain this morning before changing to snow late this morning as Arctic air floods into the region and temperatures begin to fall. Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm are expected by the time snow tapers off Friday afternoon.
Temperatures will dip considerably below freezing later today which may lead to icy road conditions. As a result, travel will become hazardous.
