Heaviest snow with hourly rates of up to one inch are likely late this afternoon & early evening. Roads will become snow covered and slippery. - *What we don't know* - still some uncertainty on the exact northern extent of the accumulating snow. As of now, that line appears to be located somewhere along the immediate south coast. However, a small shift in storm track will have a large impact on snowfall totals from south to north. Therefore, this forecast may need to be updated later this morning.
