WEDNESDAY: Dry and chilly for Wednesday with partly sunny skies. The high temperature for the day likely occurs around midnight in the middle 40s. Temperatures will fall to around freezing by Wednesday morning, and will only rebound to the middle 30s for Wednesday afternoon. A light breeze during the day will make it feel more like the 20s outside.

Our next weather maker will arrive Wednesday night with a few snow showers or wintry mix showers by Thursday morning.

THURSDAY: More clouds and chilly for Thursday. Chance of a few passing snow showers, which could be mixed with sleet to start the day. A brief lull in the precipitation by midday then another round of more substantial precipitation arrives. This will likely be a mixed bag with snow, sleet, and freezing rain all possible. Accumulations should be lighter than with our previous winter storm, but travel impacts are still possible if not likely, especially overnight Thursday into Friday morning. Here’s an early estimate on accumulations.
