...SNOW SHOWERS MOVING INTO AREA...

Scattered snow showers will move through the area during the
morning commute. These snow showers may result in brief pockets of
heavy snow and low visibility. Slick spots from this snow, as
well as lingering snow from earlier in the overnight period, may
create hazardous travel conditions during the morning commute.

Motorists should plan for additional time to reach their destination
and use extra caution. If you encounter snow covered roads, slow
down.
