EXTENDED OUTLOOK:
FINALLY, we get some dry skies back into the forecast! Wednesday will be dry with sunshine and highs back into the 30 degree range. Thursday and Friday will be some of the warmest days of the week, but it will be followed by a cold front that pushes snow and cold air back into the forecast for Saturday. Snow starts on Friday night and runs through Saturday morning with enough accumulation for you to break out the snow shovel.
