Scattered snow showers will be seen through the afternoon hours, resulting in reduced visibilities, stronger westerly winds, and some slick spots on the roads and sidewalks. Current observations support visibility dropping to a mile or less in heavier snow showers, which will continue through the day. Strong winds are also being brought down to the surface from these showers, with westerly gusts upwards to 40-45 mph at times. After 6pm, snow showers will continue, but the chance for the heavier showers starts to decrease. Some slick spots may still result, as temperatures will cool off below freezing. Visibility will continue to be reduced in showers through the evening, but should start to improve through the night. Remember, ice and snow, take it slow! $$ Gunkel
