We now have to talk about the potential for freezing rain tonight. Due to warmer temperatures today and then cooler air moving in at the surface tomorrow morning we have a decent chance of seeing freezing rain in areas. This may lead to 0.10" of freezing rain before we see a full changeover to all snow throughout Friday itself. -Meteorologist Heidi Werosta

We have a disturbance rolling through the region starting Thursday night and Friday. For most, it'll bring in a light wintry mix to a few snowflakes. Areas in the north will have the highest chance of seeing some accumulation, but it's not a lot. Here's what the probability is of 2"+ of snow... it's minimal with less than a 40% chance. -Meteorologist Heidi Werosta
