A sharp cold front is expected to move south through the area this afternoon. A narrow band of heavy flurries combined with gusty northwest winds associated with the front will lead to a relatively short but sudden drop in visibility. The front and associated band of heavy snow is expected to clear the region later in the afternoon or early evening.
Significant impacts on the afternoon commute are possible.
