CBS 2 meteorologist Laura Bannon has the been tracking the early morning snowfall.
According to Bannon, there could be brief bursts of snow which reduce visibility for travelers. Most of the snow is expected to melt upon impact but some areas could pick up a quick dusting to an inch.
Any snow showers wrap up after sunset although a leftover flurry or two is possible after dark.
