Wednesday will remain cloudy, with a slight chance of snow developing in the afternoon. Highs will struggle to reach 36 degrees, with light north winds that become calm later in the day.

New precipitation amounts are expected to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, which could lead to slick conditions, especially on untreated roads and sidewalks.
