Today’s snow outlook is for 3-5″ with snow ending around 3 p.m. this afternoon. Colder air arrives in the wake of the departing storm system for Valentine’s Day along with gusty wind making it feel like the teens!

WHAT: Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 5 inches. * WHERE: Coastal Rockingham, Eastern Hillsborough, and Interior Rockingham Counties.

WHEN: From 7 AM to 3 PM on Tuesday.

IMPACTS: Light snowfall accumulations are expected as a period of snow impacts the region. Be prepared for variable travel conditions and slow down when you approach areas of heavier snowfall as road conditions could change rapidly. Periods of light to moderate snow will combine with low visibility to create dangerous driving conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes.
