HEADLINES:

Friday is the pick of the week, before some stormy weather could arrive this weekend.

Flurries will end early tonight, with clearing skies and cold weather by Friday morning.

Friday is looking great, with sunny skies, highs near 40 degrees and light winds. It gets even a little bit warmer on Saturday, but there will be some light rain showers around for the afternoon and evening.

The weather briefly clears Sunday morning, before an offshore storm could bring a wintry mix and snow late Sunday into Monday morning. Right now, light snow accumulations are possible, but we will keep an eye on the storm track in the coming day.

An arctic blast follows Tuesday and Wednesday next week, with the coldest weather of the season so far!
