Yes we have snow in the forecast for tomorrow. This should mainly be a rain event for Jeff. The advisory is more for northern Clark County. But snow could fall heavy in spurts tomorrow that would reduce visibility and could coat the grass and cars briefly. The ground temperatures are very warm so roads should be fine. I'll update you if anything changes.
Here's the statement from the National Weather Service:
