Saturday's forecast calls for snowfall beginning mid to late Saturday morning with total accumulations between 3 and 5 inches, with some spots reaching upwards of 6 inches.

The heaviest and steadiest snowfall will occur late afternoon into the early evening before tapering off between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday. Wind speeds of 10-15 mph can be expected with gusts up to 25 mph.
