Winter weather travel statement in effect.

What:
Localized snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm.
Reduced visibility in areas of heavier snow.

When:
This evening into early Saturday morning.

Discussion:
Lake effect rain showers off Lake Huron are expected to intensify this evening. Areas away from the shoreline will likely see a transition to snow this evening as temperatures drop towards the freezing mark. 

Although snowfall amounts are not expected to be overly significant, impacts may be higher than normal as this may be the first snowfall of the season for portions of the region.

For areas closer to Lake Huron, temperatures will be a few degrees warmer and precipitation may remain as rain.
