This cold snap will be brief. We’ll have a surge of warm air move into the region for the upcoming weekend. Highs will warm into the lower 30s with partly cloudy skies on both Saturday and Sunday. Highs will stay above average through most of next week in the lower 30s. We’re tracking one chance of precip over the next 7 days. Monday night will be our best chance with a wintry mix being possible through the evening/overnight.
