With snow on the ground, water can quickly be absorbed by the ground and most of the moisture will run off into water sources and roads. This will be enhanced further if storm drains aren't uncovered from potentially being plowed over the last several days.
A widespread 1-2" of rain is possible with isolated amounts of 3" not out of the question. Be on the lookout for ponding on the roads and for rivers/creeks to rise, perhaps rapidly.
