Snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches may be expected

The snow will begin Wednesday evening, with the heaviest snowfall expected overnight.

Untreated surfaces will be snow and ice covered.

Motorists need to allow more time to reach their destination.

Drive slower and safer in a vehicle equipped for these winter conditions.

Lower elevations that get rain and wet snow may experience that moisture forming a freezing layer beneath the snow that falls late tonight.

Winds will be out of the northwest at 10 to 15 MPH, with locally higher gusts in the higher elevations.
