Discussion:

Radar and high resolution models confirm that moderate snow will not end until later tonight, and there are hints of mesoscale banding continuing. I have thus added a 15% chance of a full closing. The delay probability is unchanged.

Discussion:

Increasing probability of a delay due to snow not ending until late tonight. Going with a 50% chance based on this being a threshold situation. Confidence in this forecast is lower than normal because this is a prediction of both weather and human behavior.
