...First Round of Snowfall Across Portions of the Interior...

Light rain and snow will meander around the Interior. Locations

Wednesday. Little to no accumulation is expected in the valleys
through Wednesday afternoon. Between 1000-2000ft, up to 1 inch of
snow is possible but there will be melting as the snow reaches the
ground. Above 2000ft, 1 to 3 inches of snow is possible through
Wednesday afternoon. Another round of light snow is becoming more
likely Wednesday night into Thursday with minor accumulations
