Winter is not quite done putting down its snowy foot.

The National Weather Service has upgraded its winter storm watch to a winter storm warning, which goes into effect at 2 a.m. Friday and ends at 11 a.m. Friday. The weather service forecast statement said that the "quick-hitting" storm could bring with it 3-6 inches of snow over a short period of time.

The storm is expected to hit southeast Michigan hardest between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m., when one inch per hour is likely to fall, according to the weather service.

The storm system is coming in from "the southern Ohio Valley tonight and through western Pennsylvania (close to Pittsburgh) tomorrow morning. This is historically a favorable track for heavy snow in Detroit," the weather services statement said, adding, "roads will become snow covered for the Friday morning rush hour."

Driving conditions could be hazardous with low visibility of half mile or less and slick, snow-covered roads. Canton residents can also expect high winds, with some gusts getting as high as 30 mph. Snow may become heavy around the M-59 corridor.
