Arctic air will surge through the area late tonight through Friday. Meanwhile, an upper level disturbance will drop southeastward into the region, bringing a good chance of some light snow to much of the region Saturday into Saturday evening. If temperatures can warm into the middle or upper 30s the snow may mix with or change to rain over portions of the region in the afternoon. Relatively warm ground and road conditions along with temperatures hovering around or just above freezing should minimize travel impacts through the day. However, if the snow comes down hard at times, or if snow lasts much past sunset when temperatures fall into the 20s for good, there could be some impacts, especially on elevated roadways. All precipitation should exit the region by midnight. DRS
