Conditions have deteriorated this evening as flurries intensify in advance of a strong cold front. Strong wind gusts in combination with heavy flurries will result in reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow. Late this evening, as a sharp cold front moves through, near zero visibility in bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow are possible along with a sharp temperature drop. A frontal snow squall warning may be required.
Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
