Tricky forecast for late tonight into Thursday as an area of precipitation will move in from the northeast tonight. The air is cold enough above for snow, but down at the surface it will be above freezing. So the question will be, is that warm layer at the surface deep enough to melt the snow to a cold rain or will it stay wet snowflakes?
The answer is likely both, depending on location and time of day. As the precipitation moves in it will be during the morning hours when temperatures are cooler. This will likely bring a mix along the lake and wet snow inland. As temperatures warm throughout the morning more rain is likely with still some wet mixing in inland. The temperatures will drop once again past sunset when more of a mix and wet snow will be possible again.
Overall, with air temperatures and ground temperatures above freezing most of the wet snow will melt on contact. Some minor accumulations will be possible mainly on grassy surfaces.
Clearing skies Friday with another nice day on Saturday with highs in the low 40s. A clipper system may bring a few snow showers on Sunday.
