As we look ahead, the really cold air mass that has brought significantly cool temperatures to the region moves out east. Then, warmer air starts to build in this weekend.

Parts of the West Coast will be dealing with the potential for mixed precipitation. Freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain will be possibly along the Rockies on Thursday and Friday.

Eventually, the area of cold air bringing those conditions to the Rockies is cut off from main circulation and wanders around for a few days. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will be experiencing near or above-average temperatures.
Warmer temperatures build in for the weekend and stick around for next week too.

The Climate Prediction Center also indicates the majority of the region will see above-average temperatures for the next 7 to 10 days.
