Bands of moderate to heavy snow showers will move across Eastern

The first of these bands will move through the area early to mid

The highest snowfall accumulations are expected along Portage

along the Seward Highway, 2 to 6 inches of snow, with locally
higher amounts, are possible. Any snow accumulations on area 
roads this morning may turn slushy or wet by afternoon as 
temperatures warm into the mid 30s.
