...reduced visibility and gusty winds with snow showers...

occasional snow showers will move across the area today. with the
more intense showers, expect the visibility to be reduced to 
under a quarter mile at times and for wind gusts of 35 to 40 mph. 
some minor snow accumulations will also occur on grassy and 
elevated surfaces.

if traveling today, be prepared for rapid reductions in visibility
in the snow showers. travel on north/south roads will be more
difficult with the gusty winds.

...strong northwest winds this afternoon...

northwest winds will continue to blow at 25 to 30 mph, and gust to
around 45 mph this afternoon. in addition, quickly moving showers
can be expected, though they won't last long, these showers will
mix with rain and snow at time, and visibility briefly drop. no
accumulation of snow is expect, and roads may not stay wet for
more than a few minutes, but they will certainly at to the day's
bluster out there. keep a firm grip on the wheel today, on any
road direction!

...brief heavy snow showers expected through mid-afternoon...

scattered snow showers continued to develop across the area this
afternoon. some of the snow showers will produce a brief burst of
heavy snow, which may result in the visibility dropping as low as
1/4 mile for a short time. although air temperatures will be 
several degrees above freezing, the bursts of snow could result in
a temporary accumulation of slush on roadways and slippery travel
conditions. anyone driving this afternoon should be prepared for 
the brief reductions in visibility and possibility of slush on the
roads. be sure to slow down and maintain plenty of distance 
between your vehicle and others. 

the snow showers will begin to diminish by late afternoon.
