A burst of snow and strong winds gusting 35 to 50 mph will impact the area this afternoon and evening. Snow squalls will be possible, which could result in sudden, localized near-whiteout conditions. Roads could quickly become slippery as temperatures plummet on the backside of this system.

These poor travel conditions will coincide with the afternoon commute for many, so plan on impacts and consider delaying travel if necessary. If traveling, stay alert for sudden changes in visibility and road conditions. When encountering a burst of snow, reduce your speed and turn on your headlights so others can see you.
