Preliminary Thoughts on Wed-Friday Event
Two relatively weak waves of low pressure riding along a stationary boundary to our south will bring periods of wintry precipitation to our area tomorrow evening into Friday.

Snow should overspread the state from west to east during the late afternoon or early evening hours tomorrow, with periods of light snow lasting overnight, and winding down during the morning hours on Thursday.
There will then likely be a lull, as the second wave moves towards the area. The second round of steadier snowfall should move in Thursday evening, and last through the overnight into Friday morning.
