This Wednesday and Thursday will be the biggest soaking in a few months. Valley locations will receive close to an inch of rain in 24 hours as shown in the model below.
The image below shows the 24 hour snowfall ending 4 am Thursday.
This cold front will also bring some of the coldest air so far this season dropping snow levels down to 1000ft
the image below shows the cold air temperature behind the front at 850mb (5,000ft)
Now the question is, will the that air be cold enough to give us snow?
