With cold temperatures sticking around for the week, a low pressure system could result in some snow around the region on Thursday morning.
Precipitation could turn to rain during the warmer temperatures of afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters see light accumulation (less than an inch of snow) and there is uncertainty on where exactly this "nuisance-looking" event might occur.
While it probably won't amount to much, it bears monitoring as forecasts are fine-tuned over the next 48 hours.
On Friday, a weak low pressure system passing off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Thursday night looks to bring some more light precipitation – first as snow or a mix, then probably rain by the afternoon and into the evening, and then Saturday.
