There will be the risk for scattered showers across the area Wednesday with steadier rain expected to develop late Wednesday afternoon.

The freezing rain will transition to snow, at times mixed with ice pellets, late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
Periods of light snow will linger through Thursday, though any accumulations are expected to be minor.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.
