Daytime temperatures of 50 degrees or higher are forecast for most of the workweek.

It's not yet springtime, but it may feel it this week after the icebox of a winter we have had.

Daytime highs look to be around 50 degrees or higher just about every day this week.

That said, snow may make an appearance on Tuesday morning (should be no big deal) and perhaps next weekend.

On Friday, a low pressure system will move out of the Deep South. Depending on the timing of the arriving warm front,  there is potential for wintry precipitation, forecasters say. Probably snow at this point, they say, but far from certain. Stay tuned.

Here is the forecast for the workweek:

Monday: A chance of rain and snow, mainly before 10 a.m. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 54. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. Little or no snow accumulation expected. 

Monday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 34. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. 

Tuesday: A slight chance of rain and snow before 11 a.m., then a chance of rain. Partly sunny, with a high near 49. Calm wind becoming south around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent. Little or no snow accumulation expected. 

Tuesday night: Rain likely, mainly between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Cloudy, with a low around 41. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming light and variable in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. 

Wednesday: A chance of rain, mainly before 9 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. 

Wednesday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 33.
