Friday is mostly cloudy and warming to 42. But it's Friday evening that moisture starts moving into the Tri-State.
As it looks right now, our best chances for precipitation starts late Friday and into the overnight. This initial precipitation will likely be rain or a mix into the early overnight. As temperatures start to fall closer to daybreak, all of this changes over to snow.
We are calling for a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day for Saturday morning only. This is when the roads will likely be impacted by a light covering of snow.
As for the timeline, snow starts around 4-5 a.m. in earnest and continues through 10 a.m. to noon. The snow and wintry mix will wrap up quickly. Roads should be okay be later in the day.
Saturday afternoon will mainly be dry with highs rising to the upper 30s. This will also help road crews get out to clean up snow and allow salt and brine mixtures to work quickly for us to improve travel conditions.
Another wave of moisture is passing during the day on Sunday but this likely won't lead to much accumulating snowfall. It's going to be a mix of rain and snow with most of it melting as it hits the ground. We might see some brief, light accumulations to our northern locations but "minor" is the word to go with. Sunday's high rises to 40.
