The National Weather Service is calling for a system to move through the Shore area that will mainly produce rain, but could end with a small amount of snowfall.
After a mostly sunny day Wednesday with a forecast high of 47 degrees, the overnight hours will bring rain, mainly after 3 a.m. The low will not dip below freezing, keeping the precipitation rain, though the mercury will drop Thursday morning.
We're still watching a potential system for the weekend, though latest trends keep it a little more offshore. Before then, we have a "sneaky" system to get through late tomorrow night and Thursday morning – impacts to the morning commute are possible! #NJwx #PAwx #DEwx #MDwx pic.twitter.com/JSHlrVBbvL

On Thursday, the NWS forecast calls for rain before 8 a.m., then rain and snow between 8-11 a.m., changing to all snow after 11 a.m. The high will be near 38 degrees. New snow accumulation of only less than one inch is expected, according to the forecast.
Temperatures will absolutely plunge Thursday night, dropping to a low of just 14 degrees. Slight chances of snow will occur Friday and into the weekend, though there will be a mix of sun and clouds.
