Here is a look at temps from 8 PM tonight through 1 AM. As the snow is falling temperatures should generally be at or slightly above freezing but temperatures will continue to drop behind. Very minimal accumulations will be possible, mainly on grassy and elevated surfaces. In areas where moderate burst of snow can form, we could get minor accumulations on pavement. However, this is not expected to be a widespread problem. As mentioned in the previous update. Refreeze will be possible with any moisture that can remain on surfaces as temperatures can drop below freezing for a time into the morning. However, breezy conditions and generally light nature should limit this as well. Sheltered areas would be at highest risk for refreeze.
Here is a look at the wind gust potential around 3 AM. As you can see gust of 25 MPH – 30 MPH will be possible.
