A cold front is forecast to move through the region early this afternoon. In the wake of the front passing through, sharply colder air will work back into the region from west to east.
Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing in areas west of I-65 by early this evening. Areas out toward the I-75 corridor will see temperatures drop below freezing by midnight.

As this colder air comes into the region, it will catch the back edge of the departing rain shield. This may result in a period of light snow this evening, mainly in areas east of the I-65 corridor. A minor accumulation of snow is possible before the snow diminishes late tonight.

With temperatures expected to drop into the 20s overnight, any residual water on area roadways will likely refreeze. Black ice may be an issue overnight and Thursday morning and could negatively affect the Thursday morning commute.
