Time span: Friday afternoon, until Saturday morning.

Remarks: Snow is expected to begin Friday morning, and become heavy, at times, by Friday afternoon. Strong northeasterly winds will develop later in the day on Friday and in conjunction with the fresh snowfall will result in poor visibility in blowing snow.
