Heavy snow is likely through Tuesday morning. Conditions will begin to improve starting late Tuesday morning as winds begin to slowly diminish and snow becomes lighter and more showery in nature.

Instructions

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel very hazardous. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
