20's one day, 50's the next

Well our next system is right on our doorstep. The clouds quickly moved in last night making this morning's commute not quite as frigid as Monday morning's. Temps are still chilly though. As of noon Salisbury was only in the mid 30's. But like Justin said below, warmer air will push into the region tonight. Wednesday looks damp but mild, with highs reaching the low 50's.
As far as precip goes, one round of snow showers already pushed through the area this morning, but the lower layers of the atmosphere were too dry for much of it to make it to the ground. That won't be the case for very long though. As the storm nears and a warm front lifts through the area tonight, it will bring with it a better chance for showers. The best chance of rain looks to arrive on Wednesday as several lows surround the area and the cold front passes through. There may be some wrap around moisture Wednesday night that may mix with a little snow, but it looks pretty limited as of now with westerly winds combating that by drying us out.
The storm system exits the region allowing sunshine to return for Valentine's Day...so no reason to cancel those plans!
