A Rain To Snow Mix Possible Thru Saturday Morning

It is true! You may see some flakes fly over the course of the next 2-days, but depending on where you live, the chances of seeing that stack up are low. Starting first in the valley, a light dusting for some locations (grassy surfaces, cars, decks) is not ruled out, but will not be widespread. Meaning, some could see a dusting, while others just see a few flakes fly and nothing results. In the plateau and foothills, up to an inch is possible. Again, mainly on grassy and elevated surfaces as temperatures will be too warm and snow will melt away quickly. Even so, keep in mind slick spots and take it easy Friday morning and especially Saturday morning if on the roadways. Black ice or light snow accumulations on bridges and overpasses could result.

The break down: low pressure deepens to the north and west tonight, before fizzling out as it works through tomorrow and into early Saturday. There will be enough moisture for a few isolated showers to snow showers to be seen late overnight for some, otherwise scattered rain showers are the primary expectation into the day Friday. As temperatures cool (higher terrain quicker than the lower) we will see that transition, where lingering snow showers/precipitation is possible through Saturday morning. Drier air then finds us Sunday, followed by another rain or snow mix scenario on New Year's (chances again low here).
