The National Weather Service is predicting 1-3″ of snow beginning Friday night into Saturday, preceded by a “clipper system” which may bring rain, snow, and heavy wind gusts Thursday night.
“Good morning! Today will be generally dry, but a weak clipper system will pass tonight, bringing a few rain and snow showers and some strong gusty winds,” the Service posted today. “After a brief lull later Friday, another low pressure likely brings accumulating snow to the region for Friday night.”
