ONCE THE LOW PRESSURE REACHES THE COAST IT WILL INTENSIFY AND BRING A RETURN OF WINDY COLDER WEATHER LATE FRI INTO SATURDAY.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS & LIMITED VISIBILITIES & USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
