Discussion
Much milder weather is in store for the region during the next couple of days, but strong Arctic high pressure will build to our north this weekend and bring us a return to much colder weather conditions and there could be a period of snow late Saturday/Saturday night. Temperatures today should climb to near the 50 degree mark for highs and then a warm front will arrive by early tonight bringing us more rain. Behind the warm front, temperatures on Thursday will soar to near 60 degrees, but then a cold front slides through early Friday as Arctic high pressure begins to expand eastward to our north from the Great Lakes region. As a result, the weekend will turn out much colder and there can be a period of snow later Saturday into Saturday night. Looking ahead, it looks like it'll turn much warmer again here next week, but that will be a temporary "January thaw". Elsewhere, much of Europe has already experienced severe cold this winter and the next few weeks are likely to feature newsmaking cold and snow.
