There is also more good news when it comes to the weather this weekend in Western New York. After a dip back to below freezing tomorrow we will see a warm-up heading into the weekend. We could see highs in the mid 40's for both Saturday and Sunday. So does that mean Spring is right around the corner?

Not quite. Snow is expected in the forecast on Monday and another cold blast is coming out way. Tuesday's high is expected to only reach 30 degrees.

At least this weekend, it will be a good one to hit the slopes, the trails, or just go outside for some family fun.
