While this week will begin as usual -- with another helping of snow -- it'll end with a welcome warming trend that could peak into the 50s, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday will be cold, with highs in the low 30s and the possibility of flurries later in the day, said Joey Picca, meteorologist with the service's Upton bureau. Temperatures will drop into the teens Sunday night.
Monday, Presidents Day, will see highs stuck in the low 30s, with some colder areas only reaching the upper 20s, Picca said. The day will remain dry, but come evening, expect a 70 to 80 percent chance of "a few inches of light, accumulating snow," Picca said.
"We're not expecting anything significant," he said. Lows on Monday will be in the upper teens to low 20s.
The snow will end by Tuesday, signaling the start of a warming trend that will last through the week. Highs on Tuesday will reach 40, and the snow will have turned to a light rain by late in the day, Picca said. Tuesday night's lows will be in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid-40s, with a chance of light rain during the day. Lows on Wednesday will be in the low 30s.
Thursday will also see highs in the mid-40s, with another chance of rain late in the day, Picca said. Thursday night's lows will only dip slightly, into the upper 30s, with some spots staying in the low 40s.
Friday will be the warmest day of the workweek, with highs slated to be in the low 50s across the island, Picca said.
