This will bring in our next chance for showers and a few flurries very early Thursday morning. Temperatures as precipitation comes through should be above freezing, so roads should only be wet. Winds will become strong Wednesday night into Thursday morning.  

Friday highs will struggle to make it out of the 30s for most areas, along with continued blustery conditions.
