End of the week slop

while we have been enjoying some mild weather, this looks to be a thaw between two cold punches. In the near future, our weather will turn back towards a colder regime. In the meantime, we have a system moving through the midwest which will move into the area tomorrow night. Precipitation starts out as rain, and then as an associated cold front works through, it will transition to frozen precipitation overnight Thursday. Expect snow, sleet and freezing rain when you wake up Friday morning. There is a chance for some light accumulations, in the range of a coating to an inch. Give yourself some extra time if your driving.
