Discussion

It’ll be colder-than-normal today to end the work week despite plenty of sunshine and then slightly milder on Saturday to begin the weekend. A storm system will trek across the southern states this weekend and it should produce primarily plain rain around here from later Sunday into Sunday night…snow and/or ice can mix in at times across the northern suburbs. Following the passage of that storm system, milder air should reach our area by the middle of next week and temperatures can climb to near 60 degrees for afternoon highs.
