Weather hazards expected...
Elevated Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.
Significant Light Snow Risk.

DISCUSSION...
A quick hitting system will bring minor snow accumulations to the
area Wednesday night, especially along and north of I-80.
Another winter storm may impact the area Friday into Saturday.
Several inches of accumulating snow in combination with strong
winds may result in difficult travel across the area into
Saturday.
Much colder air will spread across the region this weekend and
early next week, producing dangerously cold wind chills.
River ice is expected to rapidly build up on area rivers Sunday
into early next week as a much colder arctic airmass moves into
the area. This will bring a threat for ice jam related flooding
on area rivers into early next week.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
