Discussion
A colder air mass has pushed into the region and low pressure will produce some rain and snow here during the next 24 hours or so. The initial wave of precipitation can be a mix of rain and snow and there can even be a rumble of thunder mixed into the picture, but all snow is likely from later today into Friday. Accumulations of 1-3 inches are possible later today and tonight, and then another inch or so is possible on Friday. Temperatures will begin to rebound this weekend and highs are likely to be back near the 60 degree mark by Sunday afternoon.
One final note, this is the weekend in which we turn the clocks ahead as we switch back to Daylight Savings Time.
