Its even colder tomorrow and Thursday AM when snow (yes snow) is possible before a change over to rain.

The Great Lakes system will move east and run into this cold air. The cold will win for the first few hours of the storm which should produce some wintry precipitation all the way to 95. Accumulation is doubtful on the roads but grassy areas may be covered before a changeover to rain. It will be slick for the commute.

| WPC Surface Forecast Thursday 8 AM |
The changeover will occur between 8-10 AM as temperatures return to the 40's. Thursday afternoon is just a raw mid fall day. Steady rain some wind and cold temperatures. We aren't here yet but its coming...and don't be this person.
