If more snow falls, it likely will be before 3 p.m., according to the forecast. Earlier in the day the weather service said the Lawrence area may receive up to an inch of snow.

Thursday night is expected to be dry but with windy conditions and wind chills between negative 1 and negative 7 degrees.
