1. Thursday, expect a mostly cloudy skies and wintry mix of rain, snow, and freezing drizzle before 2 p.m. then a chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service, which predicts a southeast wind of 9 to 14 miles per hour becoming west in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 60 percent with total expected accumulation less than half an inch, according to the NWS.
