Rain is expected to develop overnight and change to a very brief period of sleet before the changeover to snow around 5am on Thursday morning. It should snow for a few hours, leaving anywhere between a coating to 3 inches of snow.
In the latest maps from the National Weather Service, they are still expecting less than an inch for most of the area, but have raised the “reasonable worst case scenario” totals to 2-4 inches for MoCo.
In yesterday’s update we mentioned the possibility of snow Wednesday into Thursday. “A few well-timed inches can throw a wrench into the Thursday morning commute.”
Today it looks like the possibility for a bit of snow on Thursday morning is there, but if it occurs it likely won’t be anything big.
More snow is possible this week as the GFS (North American model) and Euro (European model) are going head to head in their latest runs regarding potential snow on Saturday.
The National Weather Service has our area under the “Slight Winter Storm Threat” category for this upcoming Friday into Saturday (featured photo).

Right now it looks like snow will move into the area in the afternoon hours and continue into the evening before changing over to ice and eventually rain. Since the ground will be cold from temperatures that’ll likely remain below 30° until early Monday morning when temps can reach the mid to upper 30s. Sunday evening should be a mess and it may carry over into Monday morning.
