An Arctic front will move through the region this evening, changing rain showers to snow and potentially generating a few squalls with visibility of a half-mile or less.

Lake effect snow will form behind the Arctic front.

Lake effect snow will continue Friday. In total, several inches of new snow could potentially accumulate between Thursday night and Saturday morning.
