Tracking a brief warmup through snow chances

TODAY: Temperatures warm dramatically today thanks to southwest winds and sunshine. Highs will finally reach back above freezing, into the mid-30s for many.

TONIGHT: We keep south winds overnight into Thursday, where we only cool into the upper teens and low 20s.

EXTENDED: A system tracking through the region Thursday afternoon will bring light snow with arctic air surging behind it. Accumulations are likely, especially north of I-70. This is where some could see anywhere from a trace to two inches. Temperatures will drop into the single digits Friday morning, with wind chills again reaching subzero status. An ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day has been issued for Friday and Saturday, as temperatures don't recover until Sunday when we're back near freezing for a high. Temperatures will climb into the upper 30s on Monday, before reaching the 40s by mid-next week. Several rounds of rain are possible with warmer temperatures next week.
