Snow/sleet Thursday morning???

A developing storm to our south will throw moisture our way by Thursday morning. The lastest computer data suggests that overrunning precipitation will break out in the morning, when the air is cold enough to produce a mixture of snow and sleet. All indications are that the precipitation should be light to start and that by the time it picks up in the afternoon, the critical levels of the atmosphere will be warm enough to support rain. One word of caution, overrunning precipitation is often under-forecast by the models, so the situation does concern me a bit and bares watching. Stay tuned for updates...
