The recent arctic blast that brought temperatures in the lower to middle teens to the East is now over, with meteorologists forecasting a significant warming trend throughout the week. Temperatures are expected to rise to 20° above average, reaching the 40s to around 50 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the week. The warm-up comes with a trade-off as precipitation is anticipated, starting as snow and mix before transitioning to rain due to the increasing temperatures. Overnight temperatures will also be much warmer, with upper 20s to near 30 instead of the 10s, and temperatures tonight will only drop to the lower to middle 50s. The warming trend is set to break records for the warmest overnight lows, particularly on Thursday and Friday mornings.
A couple of records could fall over the next couple of days, but not the usual record highs. These are the warmest overnight lows; Thursday morning and Friday morning we could break those records. https://t.co/8rHnw3osju #8News #RVA #RVAWX #VAWX https://t.co/nVbCYkwk05

So much better! We are starting off the morning 10° to 20° above where we were yesterday at this time. We are mainly in the middle 40s right now. https://t.co/8rHnw3p092 #8News #RVA #RVAWX #VAWX https://t.co/jU8keEHmcI
Talk about a crazy turnaround! After being in the teens just a few nights ago, temperatures tonight will only drop to the lower to middle 50s - closer to our average HIGH temperature for this time of the year. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/NbPZ4nNrmW
Good Morning! It is a cold morning just not as cold as we have been. It will be sunny for the ride into school but more clouds will be with us for the ride home. https://t.co/8rHnw3osju #8News #RVA #RVAWX #VAWX https://t.co/hn7kBxqW5d

We're done with bitter cold nights for a while. Temperatures tonight return to more typical levels - still chilly, but no more teens and 20s. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/PzPV09urXI
I'll call it "less cold" for tonight. Upper 20s to near 30 instead of in the 10s again. We won't go below freezing the rest of the week. Our Arctic blast is most definitely over. #ncwx https://t.co/7TBKzSVusO
The last of the arctic air is over us this morning. We be warming up this week but the trade off is some rain as we head through the week and into the weekend. https://t.co/8rHnw3osju #8News #RVA #RVAWX #VAWX https://t.co/7miLmdWbMP
Grab the max puffy coat this morning because we have temperatures in the lower to middle teens. It will be better for the ride home. https://t.co/8rHnw3osju #8News #RVA #RVAWX #VAWX https://t.co/BAyrd9fPBE
PATTERN CHANGE... This week as the jet stream builds over the east and arctic air retreats north. Temps will run above average in the 40s to around 50° late week. It comes with round of precip though- snow and mix changing to rain as we warm up #WCVB https://t.co/O02nnLCaDo
