The next few days will bring warmer-than-normal temperatures. After the frigid week we’ve just had, it might feel like an early taste of spring—but don’t be fooled. This brief warm-up won’t last, as winter makes its return over the weekend.

Highs today will reach the lower 50s, although expect more clouds and even a few sprinkles as a weak front moves through.

Sunshine returns on Wednesday, but clouds and rain will move in on Thursday, with a higher chance of precipitation compared to tomorrow.

By Friday, colder air settles back in, setting the stage for a chilly weekend. A clipper system will pass through early in the weekend, and depending on its timing, we could see a mix of rain or snow showers on Saturday.
