Due to the variability in the track of the low pressure system and the strength of the Arctic outflow winds, there is some uncertainty associated with the exact snowfall amounts. Current guidance suggests total snow accumulations of 10 to 20 cm with near 30 cm possible over upslope regions and higher terrain.

Warnings will be issued as the event draws closer. Be prepared for challenging travel conditions Saturday night to Sunday.
