Colder air has been settling in from the west which has brought temperatures down from the 40s earlier in the day, now down into the low to mid-30s. West winds have also been gusting to around 35 mph.
Clouds were quick to clear following a weak disturbance Wednesday morning but were also quick to return during the afternoon. As a second cold front quickly races in from the west, scattered snow showers have developed across the region. These snow showers will continue to move across the area through the evening, with snow flurries likely continuing into the overnight.
Brief heavy bursts of snow can be expected, dropping visibility down to under a mile or two during the rest of the afternoon and evening. We've already seen this occur in some locations, with minor accumulations developing on grassy surfaces as a result. Any accumulations that do take place will remain minor, but with falling temperatures there could be some slick spots that develop - mostly on bridges and overpasses. Extra caution should be exercised if you're planning on traveling this evening.
