...Light Snow Accumulations Possible Tonight Into Saturday Morning...

A cold front will swing across region bringing increasing
precipitation chances late tonight through Saturday morning.
Precipitation is expected to be rain or a rain snow mix at onset,
but periods of light to moderate snow showers will lead to a
quick 1 to 2 inches of accumulation as temperatures approach near
or just below freezing. Most likely locations to receive this
light accumulation will be elevations between 2000 and 4000 feet.
Highest mountain peaks could see isolated totals near 3 inches.
