Our Storm Center 7 team of meteorologists continues to TRACK both this system and bitterly cold temperatures. They have the latest TIMING AND IMPACTS on a Special Edition of News Center 7 today starting at 4 p.m.

TRENDING STORIES:

TIMING:

The upcoming snowfall is expected to arrive late Friday afternoon and evening, according to Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Britley Ritz.

She says we will see snow on the radar late morning and early afternoon, as the air is too dry. A lot of the snow will evaporate before reaching the ground.

Ritz says we should expect to see it after 3 p.m. The heaviest snow still looks to fall after 5 p.m.

IMPACTS:

Total accumulations range from two to four inches across the region.

Some isolated areas in our most southwest counties could see up to five inches of snow, Ritz states.

A Winter Weather Advisory takes effect Friday. If this storm overperforms a bit, an upgrade to a winter storm warning is possible.

Our Storm Center 7 team of meteorologists continues to monitor this system.

We will continue to follow this story.
