...Bursts of Heavy Snow Showers or Snow Squalls This Afternoon and
Early This Evening...

Areas of heavy snow showers or more intense snow squalls will
spread from northwest to southeast across the region, mainly
between 2 PM and 8 PM. Heavy snow showers will reduce visibility
to under one mile and will be accompanied by wind gusts of 30 to
40 mph.

If you encounter a snow squall, follow these tips to stay safe:

Reduce speed and turn on headlights! During snow squalls, the
visibility may suddenly drop to near zero in whiteout conditions.

Consider avoiding or delaying travel until the snow squall passes
your location. If you must travel, use extra caution and allow
extra time. Rapid changes in visibility and slick road conditions
may lead to accidents.

If traveling on a highway, find the nearest exit or rest area and
park safely away from traffic. Allow snow squalls to pass before
attempting to resume travel.
