Scattered snow showers will spread across the region now through the afternoon hours. The hit and miss nature of the snow showers means not everyone will see snow accumulations. Some will see only flurries while others will get a brief snow burst of one-half inch in 15 minutes. Overall snow amounts will be less than an inch. However, snow combined with very strong northwest winds gusting to 45 mph may produce periods of very low visibility and slippery roads. Travel may be occasionally hazardous due to these periods of falling and blowing snow, necessitating extra travel time and caution for those on the roads. Snow will taper off from west to east by the afternoon hours.
