The snow is expected to arrive around Saturday evening. Snow becomes widespread and heavy on Saturday night. Sunday looks like an all-day snowstorm. Snow should end by Sunday night.
[WATCH Storm Center 7 Weather on the following devices]
Widespread accumulations of 8-12 inches appear likely. Totals may be slightly less north of US-36. This will be very dry, powdery snow.
So, blowing and drifting will be a problem. Drifting issues could persist well into next week due to the extremely cold temperatures in place and persistent windy conditions.
