...PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED THIS
EVENING...

A lake effect snow band will drop south through the area along an
arctic cold front early this evening. This will bring a period of
heavy snow to the area, along with strong gusty west-northwest
winds. Visibility may occasionally drop below 1 mile, and locally
below 1/4 mile at times as this snow band moves through the area.
Winds will be gusting between 35 to 45 mph at times as well.
Snowfall amounts are forecast to be between 1 to 4 inches by
midnight. Lingering lighter snow and blowing snow continue into
the overnight hours.

If traveling this evening be prepared for the rapidly changing
winter weather conditions. Plan some extra time to reach your
destination safely.
