DETAILED FORECAST
Overnight: Steady, widespread snow will lead to snow-covered, slippery roads, Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist McCall Vrydaghs said. Temperatures in the teens will do little to help road salt, so Friday morning's commute is expected to be messy. Snow will taper around sunrise, with total accumulations between 2 and 4 inches.

Friday: Scattered snow tapers off in the morning with accumulations between 2 and 4 inches expected.
“Since it will be cold, it should create snow-covered roads pretty quickly for the morning drive,” Vrydaghs said.
A few flurries or some drizzle could linger briefly after the steady snow wraps up in the morning. Highs will reach the low 30s for the afternoon. It remains dry for the night.

Sunday: An even warmer end to the weekend as it feels more like spring. Highs reach in the lower to middle 50s with sun and clouds through the day. It should stay dry until closer to Monday morning.
