there is a lull friday evening and night with a chance of snow on the backside. that easily change with a shift in the track. 50 to 75 miles north and south could make a difference of whether it is rain or snow. maybe a spotty slick spot tomorrow. bigger storm friday into saturday with a potential wintry mix. we could see all types of precipitation. two things to talk about -- and there could be some in some areas by the time it is over with. the seven day forecast -- messy friday into saturday. there are indications that next week temperatures rebound. there will not be a big chunk of arctic air. this time, it will warm up quickly behind it. anna: that is like we like to hear.
