Description

Snow has a greater chance of sticking overnight tonight after sunset and gusty 25 to 40 mph winds linger into the overnight allowing blowing and drifting snow where it has accumulated. Reduced visibility to or below 2 miles will still also be possible in snow showers and lake effect snow. These conditions allow for the possibility of slick conditions overnight. If you're out driving tonight, use caution travelling, especially on bridges, lesser traveled roads like back roads, and untreated roads. Additionally, leave extra stopping distance behind other vehicles.
