· Pick of this week today Monday – temps make a nice climb in some decent sunshine into the mid and upper 30s today – enjoy it because some spotty freezing rain/rain showers roll in for the last part of the Tuesday’s morning commute – Heads Up!.

· Warm intrusion works in aloft with moisture on the increase weak and in pieces, so nothing widespread until Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.

· A cold front lower temperatures considerably for Thursday and beyond. Friday might see some minor accumulating snows. But, overall weather pattern quieter late this week with weather systems but intrusion of arctic air (modified) heading into the weekend.
