- Falling temps and falling, accumulating snow will likely cause slick spots and impact the morning commute.
- Light rain falling prior to the changeover will likely impact effectiveness of any pre-treatment of roadways.

Friday Night – Saturday
Summary:
The European model has completely trended to the GFS solution, with a weaker and more southern system. At this time, there is very little impact expected for our area.
Timing:
Late Friday into Saturday
Impacts:
No impacts are expected at this time
European Model Trend Loop:
As you can see above, the first several runs of the European show a major snowstorm over our area, but subsequent runs show a progression to a weaker and further south and east solution. It looks like, once again this winter, the GFS has outperformed the European model.
Forecast Confidence: MED/HIGH
