HEADLINES:

The worst of our bitter blast is over, with temperatures on the rise.

Get ready for a cold and calm night, with partly cloudy skies and the slight chance of a flurry or two flying by. Lows will be near 12 degrees, rising to near 32 degrees by the afternoon with partly sunny skies.

More cold, dry weather ahead through the start of the weekend, with a seasonable feel by Sunday. Daytime highs on Sunday through much of next week will be in the upper-30s to near 40 degrees. It also wont be as terribly cold at night with lows in the 20s.

We are tracking the chance for a few light rain and snow showers Sunday night into Monday. Otherwise, there are no other storms on the horizon.
