Around Tuesday night into Wednesday, there is a nearby storm bringing light snowfall. 

A larger storm Thursday is tracking more north, so it looks like a wintry mix, snow in the mountains and a sloppy ice and rain event south. 

A third upcoming system brings us snow, perhaps next weekend. Stay tuned!
