Snowfall in Rounds:
Anticipate the snow to arrive in two rounds. The initial one is expected to begin late Monday night, continuing into early Tuesday.
Later on Tuesday afternoon and into the night, a second wave is predicted.
Snowfall Expectations:
ABC7 Meteorologist Tracy Butler forecasts that the second wave might have less snow due to some rain mixing in.
Overnight, the first wave could bring around one to four inches of snow, causing slippery roads and a tough morning commute, especially in the far west and south.
