A low moves through today and we warm into the low to mid 40s today ahead of that system but cool overnight with the passing cold front. There is a slight chance for a few showers this evening and overnight - possibly becoming snow showers as we cool. Another low arrives later Tuesday with a round of light snow late in the day and overnight. Yet another system keeps our more active patter going for Wednesday and Thursday with rain, snow and a wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet.
