Our NWS is not really concerned about any snow or sleet that may mix in late Wednesday night or Thursday morning. We’re forecast to be above freezing around 9 AM, if not before, so any frozen precip won’t survive long Thursday.

Temps return to normal Friday through the weekend, with rain in the forecast.
