Good morning,
This weekend, we expect to see our first measurable snowfall of the season. Weather forecasters are calling for 3-6 inches of snow Saturday night into Sunday morning. We will provide updates on any significant impacts from the storm. Use caution and stay warm!
Here is the latest forecast -
WEATHER ALERT
Period of Snow Saturday Overnight into Sunday AM ... Today and tomorrow are quiet but still seasonably cool and not as windy. Other than a very minor flurry risk Saturday AM, our attention turns to the evening/overnight hours with our first snow event of the year. Initial snow builds in on the lighter side, coupled with marginal starting temps and pre-treatment, this can lead to pavements struggling at first.
Past midnight is where steadier bands start to develop, and this should both cool things and help things cover quickly as we progress into the morning. This is the kind of snow that can also accumulate easily and can end up more fluffy than the heavier/wet variety. In all, a couple of inches and
plowable operations are very likely before snow quickly tapers off mid to late morning.
Afterwards, clouds break to the sun, and winds turn gusty. Temperatures will also start cooling into the 20s before dropping well into the teens (single digit wind chills) Sunday night. With that, watch for post-storm refreeze.

Marginal temps/treatment at onset can hold back accumulation but should cover as temperatures cool and snow gets steadier in the predawn. |
