Snowfall amounts continue to trend downwards with the upcoming snow potential for tonight into Saturday. However, light snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are still possible for most locations, with locally higher amounts up to 3 inches.

The wet nature of the snow could lead to a few isolated power outages. Any snow will come to an end by Saturday afternoon.
