...SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE DAY ON
THURSDAY...

Scattered snow showers will pick up in intensity late in the
overnight hours and through the early afternoon hours on Thursday.
Due to the scattered nature of the snow some locations will see
little to no snow accumulation, while nearby locations could pick
up a quick inch of snow accumulation in a short amount of time
with some of the heavier snow shower activity.

Surface and air temperatures will remain near the freezing mark
or cooler when the snow is falling and therefore some slick spots
will be possible. In addition visibilities will be reduced with
the heavier snow showers. Remain alert and use extra caution if
traveling overnight or during the day on Thursday.
