Widespread snowfall will begin this evening. There will be a slight chance of
some mixing with freezing rain or sleet, but this most likely will remain to
our south. We will see snow accumulations 2-4" in the valleys and 3-5" in
higher terrain. The snowfall will continue through Wednesday morning, tapering
off after 1pm. Once the snow ends, the temperatures will be dropping off
quickly; it will become very blustery! Thursday and Friday we'll see another
round of unsettled weather, which will provide us with more scattered snow
showers.
