The time frame for the storm is Wednesday night, Dec. 4 into late Thursday morning, Dec. 5, according to the National Weather Service.
At the outset of the system, snow showers will occur throughout the region, and areas where the temperature stays at or below the freezing mark overnight could see up to half a foot of accumulation.
In areas where the temperature stays around the mid-30s, there will be a mix of rain, sleet, and snow.
