Friday morning snow will begin accumulate to between 3 to 6 inches with a high near 21 degrees. Snow could fall heavier in some areas.

Use caution when driving and plan your commute accordingly. Cold temperatures in the teens will make salt less effective and make it harder for crews to keep the roads clear of snow and ice, according to the National Weather Service.
