..LIGHT SNOWS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY EVENING
... ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT.

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.

ALL PRECIPITATION SHOULD EXIT THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT
