Temperatures remain mild to round out the work week, with highs peaking in the upper 40s. But as we've seen with these extremely mild winter stretches, old man winter likes to sneak in a curveball or two to show he's still around.
A backdoor cold front sliding in from the north will help spark up a few rain showers late this afternoon. However, as cooler air spills in, a quick changeover to snow is expected with snow showers lasting into the early stage of Friday night.
At the same time, winds will be increasing out of the northeast, gusting up to 25 mph at times. This will make visibility somewhat of a concern for those heading home or heading out this evening. Be sure to travel with caution. All in all, accumulations will be minor, sticking only to grassy surfaces. Quickly following the departure of our snow chances will be a decrease in cloud cover, resulting in a temperature plunge into Saturday morning. Overnight lows will land on either side of the 20-degree mark, resulting in a flash freeze.
High pressure quickly diving in behind today's front will leave us partly cloudy for Saturday. Highs will end up closer to average in the upper 30s. Again, this colder weather pattern is brief as winds look to change back to the south Sunday.
This will help temperatures climb back into the mid 50s to round out the weekend, with 60s in the works for early next week. Tuesday's warmth will more than likely come with a chance for rain and thunderstorms, some of which could be strong.
