As the low-pressure system passes through the coastal waters Wednesday evening through Thursday morning, all precipitation will change over to snow, heavy at times.  Snow accumulation, potentially significant snowfall over 6", is currently expected for the entire region.  Windy conditions will conditions.  The snow will exit by Thursday afternoon.  Temperatures on Thursday will fall through the 40s, 30s, and 20s through the day.
