snow forecast

Winter weather outlook

A snow forecast is a weather prediction specifically about expected snowfall—how much, when, and where.

Forecasters issue snow forecasts before winter storms to help people prepare: The snow forecast calls for six to eight inches overnight.

The term emphasizes snow rather than general winter weather like ice or freezing rain.
