Freezing rain is a midweek threat

Bitter cold, lows will be in the single digits, Monday morning.  The start of the week is uneventful but middle and end of the week is active. A warm-up may seem like a good thing but not when the result is freezing rain. The concern is Wednesday starting in the early morning as temperatures will be above freezing with rain or a wet snowfall. The ground is colder than the air; freezing rain will be a concern through Wednesday. More snow is likely Friday ahead of another deep-freezing next weekend. Accumulating snowfall of more than three inches is likely Friday. Next weekend will be very cold, highs in the teens. 

Tonight: Some clearing, bitterly frigid. Low 4.

Monday: Cold, some sun. High 22.

Tuesday: Warming above freezing. Freezing rain Tuesday night. High 34.

Wednesday: Freezing Rain / Wintry Mix. High 36.
