Scattered snow showers are expected Sunday morning along and behind a cold front. Temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing through the early to mid-morning hours behind this cold front. A few of these snow showers could be heavier, causing a rapid drop in visibility and a quick coating on roads. It will also be quite blustery, with winds from the northwest gusting to around 30 mph. The winds will also help limit visibility in snow, creating briefly difficult travel conditions. Elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses will likely become slick earlier. Anyone traveling Sunday morning should be prepared for sudden visibility changes and potentially slick road surfaces. Overall, snow accumulations will be light (half inch or less) and quite localized in nature. Not everyone will see a dusting of snow.
