"At this time, 2 to 5 inches of snow is possible before the changeover. The Friday morning commute will likely be impacted."

Scattered showers are possible on Wednesday until around noontime, followed by gradual clearing as the high temperature reaches a spring-like low 60s, the National Weather Service says.
Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a drop in temperatures, as the high will be only in the mid 30s, with wind-chill values between 20 and 30 degrees.
The storm is due to arrive right around midnight Friday with snowfall winding down from west to east starting late Friday morning, followed by a mix of rain and snow, the National Weather Service says. Sleet could be heavy at times during the day on Friday.
Skies will clear Friday night, leading to a sunny day on Saturday, Feb. 26 with a high temperature in the low 30s.
