The latest Met Office forecast for Wales on Thursday shows any snow is likely to be limited to smaller areas.
At the start of the week, there had been warnings that snow could fall across the nation and charts had shown where the snow was most likely to hit.
Yet forecasters had always been clear there was a high level of uncertainty with thunder, rain, sleet and snow all possible and the latest Met Office forecast suggests that most areas of Wales are now likely to see rain.
The Met Office says there is a "wintry mix of showers" on the way to Wales for Thursday but it's likely to be confined to higher ground.

For example, in Cardiff there is 80 per cent chance of precipitation on Thursday morning, while up north in Bangor there is also a 30 per cent chance of rain. The areas most likely to see snow are in mid and north Wales, particularly Snowdonia.
A spokesperson for The Met Office said: "A wintry mix of showers is on the cards for parts of Wales on Thursday, although any small accumulations are most likely to be confined to high ground in the north of Wales.
"A band of showers is set to build in from the NW of Wales on Thursday that will be a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. In the high ground, this is likely to fall as snow, although will be short-lived in nature and unlikely to accumulate to any significant level. In lower ground in Wales, the mix is more likely to be of rain and sleet, and more likely to be just rain in the south of the country.
"In terms of accumulations, there’s a slight chance of a bit of lying snow in the high ground in the north, but this is likely to be very short lived and likely just a dusting of wintry weather. Friday will see some respite from the previously unsettled and windy conditions, with patchy cloud for much of Wales. It’ll be remaining fairly cool compared to the relatively mild winter Wales has seen so far.
"Saturday will see the return of some unsettled weather which will build in from the west late in the day, with some high winds."
