Snowfall rates could exceed an inch every hour beginning around midnight through noon on Friday, the National Weather Service says. This will result in snow-covered roads and hazardous travel during the morning commute.
A weaker and/or farther offshore low would result in lighter snow accumulations, with a stronger and/or closer to the coast track increasing the potential for greater accumulation, especially for northern and northwestern sections, meteorologists say.
Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high below 40 before temps drop about 10 degrees at night. Friday will be a high of around 35 and a low of around 20.
