A cold storm system will swing in from the northwest Wednesday into Thursday, with high temperatures falling from the 50s and 60s into the 30s. Overnight temperatures Thursday night will drop into the 10s and 20s. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop Wednesday afternoon and evening, with a widespread area of rain changing to bursts of snow along the cold front at all elevations.
Snow showers will continue into Thursday and Friday, but accumulations should stay fairly light, generally up to an inch or two in the lower elevations, with heavier snowfall in the mountains. If you have plans to drive over mountain passes Wednesday night into Thursday, be sure to check road conditions and prepare for winter driving.
