Discussion
Moisture pushes northward this morning into the area and it’ll be cold enough for freezing rain during the morning hours possibly mixed with sleet and/or snow at times…small accumulations of ice and/or snow possible…watch out for AM slick spots. Temperatures should climb safely above the freezing mark this afternoon resulting in plain rain...afternoon highs likely near the 40-degree mark. It turns much milder for the second half of the week and the upcoming weekend, but the warmup will be plagued by multiple rounds of showers. There is the chance that the warmup gets interrupted on Friday if a backdoor cold front drops through the area from northeast-to-southwest. If indeed this cool down takes place and a low-level ocean flow develops, it would be just a temporary setback to the warmup, and temperatures should soar again this weekend and during the early part of next week.
