Discussion
The first half of the week will be much milder than recent days, but it’ll turn colder again on Thursday and there is a threat for some wintry precipitation from later Thursday into Friday. Highs will be well up in the 50’s later today and 60+ degrees is on the table by mid-week. A cold front crosses the region later Wednesday and sets the stage for a “cold air damming” setup from Thursday into Friday potentially resulting in some ice and/or snow before a changeover to rain.
