Our main weather maker will arrive on Saturday in the form of snow as a low pressure system tracks easterly located south of our neighborhoods. Snow will be driven in as early as Saturday morning with more of the hazardous accumulating snow beginning in the afternoon. This snow will last through Saturday evening with a small chance of it lingering into Sunday morning. We could still see changes within the track of heaviest snow. Our neighborhoods can expected 2-3" possible north of I-94 with less than 2" south of 94 with a small chance for some sleet and freezing rain. Slick roadways are a main impact so make sure you are staying weather aware.
