Snow flakes to 80s in as little as 3-days.

The title sounds like one of those "too-good-to-be-true" infomercials about how you can go from disaster to incredible almost instantly. Well it is looking to be quite true. The weather here across much of the Eastern US this week is going to catch on to our norm in society... that is, we want instant gratification.
First though we will have to deal with the clouds and some wet snowflakes come Tuesday. As we haven't seen enough of the snow, it has been yet another top 10 snowiest winter on record out of 130 winters here in Detroit. Much can be said for many cities across the Midwest and Plains. However, don't expect it to be accumulating like the earlier snowstorm did this month as temperatures will be well above freezing.
The cold temperatures will last thru Wednesday and then a warm front will make its way towards the Midwest by Thursday pushing temperatures into the 50s. Once that warm front passes, temperatures look to pop! In fact, there is potential to see 80F temperatures for Friday and Saturday across much of the Midwest before the next cold front slices in on Sunday.
So hang in there, this cold weather will not last for long.
