You won't have to worry about a bitterly cold night, snow, or rain in the region. Instead, temperatures will remain in the upper 30s under cloudy skies.

Prepare for a mainly quiet day on Wednesday until the evening and nightly hours.

We are expecting a quick storm system to pass, bringing rain first on Wednesday overnight, then changing over to snow briefly early on Thursday morning.

Snow accumulations are not expected from this system. The rest of Thursday will be breezy and much colder.

The daytime high will occur in the morning, and in the afternoon will be in the 20s and feel like the teens or single digits heading into the night.

The bitter cold will continue into Friday morning; wind chill values will be in the single digits and near zero, before warming up to near 30 degrees, but still feeling like the teens. So be sure to have your heavy coat ready to go!

OVERNIGHT: Mostly cloudy, periodic gusts near 20 mph, not as cold. Lows in the upper 30s.

WEDNESDAY: Mainly cloudy, and a little milder with rain showers likely in the evening and at night. Highs: Mid-40s. Lows: Upper 30s.

THURSDAY: Cloudy, windy, and rain showers will likely mix with snow in the morning. The daytime high will occur in the morning, with colder air taking over in the afternoon with windy conditions. Snow accumulations are not expected. Highs: In the low 30s. Lows: In the teens.

FRIDAY: Bitterly cold morning, and a little improvement in the afternoon. Feels-like temperatures in the single digits and near zero in the morning. Highs: near 30 degrees. Lows: Mid-20s.
