Poor travel conditions possible today.

Periods of heavy snow may reduce visibility and lead to rapidly changing road conditions. Conditions are expected to improve by this evening.

Total snowfall amounts remain uncertain with 5 to 15 cm possible in some locations. Temperatures near zero may limit snowfall accumulation.

Allow extra time to travel and be prepared for changing conditions.

Temperatures are forecast to rise this weekend, and any snow that does accumulate will likely melt quickly, improving travel conditions for the long weekend
