Total snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 cm possible. As the track of the low pressure system remains uncertain, precipitation timing and amounts may change.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations.

Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
