...LIGHT SNOW LIKELY LATE TONIGHT...
Light snow is expected to develop across the area after midnight,
shifting to the southeast through the predawn hours. This band of
light snow will affect the Tri-State region by the Thursday
morning commute, eventually pushing south of the area by mid-
morning.
Minor snow accumulations of less than an inch are expected, but
cold ground conditions will allow for quick accumulation on any
untreated surfaces. The main impacts are expected to be reduced
visibilities and some slick spots on untreated surfaces.
Motorists should exercise caution. Plan extra time for the
Thursday morning commute.
