The mild air is making an exit. A slow-moving cold front brings rain showers to wrap up the day highs were in the 40s. Tonight, those showers flip to snow as temperatures tumble. Expect a light coating mostly on grass and elevated surfaces, wrapping up just in time for the Thursday morning commute.

The real story is the deep freeze following the front. Temperatures will crater throughout Thursday as gusty winds move in.

By Friday morning, prepare for a shock: "feels-like" temps will bottom out in the single digits or near zero.

Still early but could be watching for another storm bringing measurable snow for the MLK JR DAY weekend.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear with a very light breeze and not feeling as frigid. Lows: upper 20s to low 30s.

THURSDAY: WEATHER TO WATCH - Mostly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs: low 40s. Lows: mid- to upper 30s.

FRIDAY: Mainly cloudy with a chance for rain showers in the second half of the day. Highs: mid-40s. Lows: mid- 30s.
