Additional details

The snow will come in two waves. Snow is more likely Saturday morning into Sunday morning with 3 to 6 inches expected. There will be a break with lighter snow Sunday afternoon and night. On Monday, snow is likely in the morning with 2 to 4 inches expected but rain becomes more likely in the afternoon as warmer temperatures intrude and this will limit snowfall totals. Any rain will act as freezing rain and accrete on surfaces below freezing. This could make for slick conditions early next week.
