After a frigid start to the day, expect a few snow showers later tonight, maybe a coating at best, but our eyes are really on this weekend.

Before that, Thursday will be the mildest day of the week, and for the rest of January. Temperatures will climb above the normal high of 37 degrees for many across the Hudson Valley. There will be a mix of sun and clouds along with a southwesterly flow of winds.

Enjoy the warmup while it is here, as temperatures will turn frigid again for Friday evening into the weekend. This next shot of Arctic air will be even colder than this most recent round. This chilly blast will set the stage for the region to possibly see a large winter storm Sunday into Monday. It is still several days out to accurately predict how much we see, but you should expect plowable snow into the start of next week. More details are on the way!
