Looking ahead to the weekend, on Saturday it will be partly sunny with a high near 18 degrees and a low around 4 degrees, while on Sunday sunnier skies bring a high near 22 degrees and a low near 6 degrees. Early next week introduces more variability, with Monday expecting flurries and a high near 25 degrees, followed by mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 20s Tuesday, as reported by the National Weather Service.

Snowfall chances continue into Wednesday, with another round of wintry conditions and a high near 25 degrees, while nighttime lows remain chilly around 12 degrees.
