Friday will be a snowy day across the area, with travel impacts expected. Snow will spread eastward as the morning commute progresses, with locations west of I-29 more likely to have early morning accumulations and slick roads. The greater impact will be during the evening commute, due to snow-covered roads area-wide, and reduced visibility with persistent light to moderate snow. Snowfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches are likely by the time the event ends Friday evening, with locally higher amounts possible.
