Have a couple of highlights to your forecast. We are going to see more clouds build through the day. Even if we get some early sunshine and then tomorrow we have some rain down south and some snow across most of the region arriving at some point during the afternoon or evening and probably accumulating a little bit.

The latest run on future tracker has wanted to suppress this snow to the west until about 6 oclock in the evening with just a couple of little patches here or there. I actually think theres a chance this comes in a little faster but in any event during the afternoon and evening well be on the lookout for that light snow arriving and then as we go later into the evening up until 11 oclock its one of those situations where i do think cecily tynan will have something to show you at 11 oclock here on 6abc. There could be a little changeover to rain down south and then the whole thing appears to be gone pretty much before you get up on thursday morning. What are we expecting on the ground . About 1 to 2 inches is possible.

And then partly sunny and dry on thursday, a high of 40. Friday chilly, 36. And saturday mostly cloudy with a high of 40.
