It may have seemed like the calendar skipped winter and went straight to spring the last couple of days.

But the rest of this week -- and especially toward the weekend -- will serve as a reminder that's it's still very much January.

There's a chance for the first snowstorm of the new decade late in the week.

Here's what to expect through the end of the week:

Monday, Jan. 13: It will be mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the mid 40s.The overnight low temperature will be just above the freezing mark.

Tuesday, Jan. 14: Clouds will increase during the morning and there will be a chance for rain after around 3 p.m. and continuing through the evening. The afternoon high temperature will be in the mid 40s and the overnight low will be in the mid to upper 30s.

Wednesday, Jan. 15: Mostly sunny and a bit warmer with the high temperature in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. Clouds will increase in the afternoon and there will be a chance for showers through the evening and rain overnight.

Thursday, Jan. 16: It will be a breezy day with a chance of more showers through late in the morning before becoming partly sunny with a high temperature in the low 40s.

Friday, Jan. 17: Sunny and colder with the high temperature just below the freezing mark. The colder temperatures will be in place as a storm system moves toward the area late in the evening.

Saturday, Jan. 18: The snow chance starts at around midnight, and continues through early Saturday afternoon.

The high temperature is expected to climb into the mid to upper 30s in the afternoon, with a chance for rain later in afternoon. It's too early to predict possible snowfall accumulations as there is uncertainty surrounding the track and strength of the storm.
