Light Snow Possible Tomorrow

Here's a look at the latest for Wednesday's snowfall potential. In the end, this doesn't look to be a show-stopping event, though we are still anticipating light snow (less than 1 inch) across the area. 

A layer of dry air below 2,000-3,000 feet early on will limit greater snow total amounts, and may result in lesser amounts than currently forecast. 

However, the timing of development may impact the evening commute with slick roads and resulting delays. Stay tuned for updates as the event approaches.
