weather story 160208Scattered 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.

Today
Scattered snow showers, mainly before 3pm. Areas of blowing snow before noon. Cloudy, with a high near 29. Windy, with a north northwest wind 25 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Tonight
Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16. Blustery, with a northwest wind 24 to 29 mph decreasing to 17 to 22 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 38 mph.
Tuesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 29. Wind chill values between zero and 10. Blustery, with a northwest wind 17 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph.
Tuesday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 13. North northwest wind 10 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
