Snow By Thursday Morning

A cold front is slated to move through the area late Wednesday into Thursday. While we may not see snow initially in valleys, we are likely to see high mountain snow showers develop early Wednesday evening. That rain will quickly switch over to snow overnight as the bulk of the cold air piles into the region. Bands of heavy snow are likely overnight. Most models are indicating between 1”-3” of wet slushy snow by the time we head out the door on Thursday. Some models are pushing those accumulations well over 6”, though there is a lot of uncertainty with those numbers as we will see much of that snow melt along the way. Mountains are, however, likely to see number that fall in line with 6” or more by the early afternoon on Thursday.
