Snowfall is expected Thursday through Friday afternoon.

Precipitation may begin as light rain tonight before changing to snow Thursday morning as Arctic air floods into the region and temperatures drop.

Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm are expected by the time snow tapers off Friday afternoon.

Temperatures will dip considerably below freezing late in the day Thursday and Thursday night which may lead to icy road conditions. As a result, travel will become hazardous.
