Accumulating snowfall of two to four inches is expected to be along and north of the I-94 corridor. They say some patchy freezing drizzle could also fall, but no ice accumulation is expected. The first burst of snow will last a couple of hours this afternoon before tapering off. A second round of snow will fall Saturday evening and into the overnight. The winter weather advisory goes until at least 3:00 a.m. Sunday, November 14th.

Travel could be impacted later Saturday and overnight with less than a mile visibility, and less than a half a mile at times is possible. They say drivers should also plan on slippery roads and leave plenty of time to get where they’re going.
