Tomorrow (Wednesday): Sunshine will be in control Wednesday. It won’t accomplish too much in the way of melting given that highs are expected to be in the upper 20s and low 30s. Winds should blow from the west around 10 mph.

More snow: After waiting for two years to pick up a real snowfall locally, our wait for the next may be much shorter. Odds are good of more snow falling Thursday night into Friday. How much falls is still uncertain. We do know that it will be cold ahead of the snow risk, and a reinforcing shot of cold air is tagging along with the storm.
An atmospheric disturbance is forecast to dive our way Thursday, and some light snow will probably break out overnight. At the same time, a bit of moisture will get dragged northward from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, helping spawn a new low pressure near the region and probably keeping snow going on Friday. Given multiple complex interactions in weather modeling for the storm, small changes can make for big changes. At this point, the setup is favorable for accumulating snow.
