Snow, Rain Likely for End of Week

The National Weather Service is calling for a mix of snow and rain between Wednesday night and Friday, with a possibility for strong winds, heavy precipitation, and "minor to moderate snow accumulation."

Whether March goes out with a bang or whimper, the service reports, depends on the track of a system expected to emerge from the Mid-Atlantic Thursday night and "deepen rapidly as it tracks northeastward over the Atlantic on Friday."

"The current timing of this storm would impact the Friday morning commute," forecasters warn.

After a slight chance of rain Wednesday and snow early Thursday, highs are expected to be in the mid-40s Thursday afternoon.

A mix of rain and snow is then likely to roll in Thursday night and continue through midday before switching over to rain only. A bit more snow may fall Friday night before the forecast calls for sunny conditions on Saturday.
