AND THEN YOU\u2019RE GOING TO RISE RAISE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT THIS WEEKEND. AND TWO MORE DAYS OF CHILL. AND THEN THE WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO KICK IN OVER THE WEEKEND AND REALLY NEXT WEEK. SO HERE ARE YOUR TWO DAYS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY A HIGH OF 30 DEGREES ON THURSDAY, SO WE DON\u2019T EVEN MAKE THE FREEZING MARK. AND THEN ON FRIDAY OUR LOW TEMPERATURE 18 DEGREES, WE TAKE IT UP TO 35. AND THEN WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND. WE\u2019LL HAVE SUNSHINE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 42 DEGREES AND THEN SUNDAY A LITTLE BIT WARMER. NEXT WEEK WE\u2019LL SEE TEMPERATURES THAT WILL MAKE IT INTO THE 50S. SO FOR TOMORROW WE\u2019RE IN THE 20S ALL DAY LONG. WILL TOP OUT WITH A HIGH OF 30 DEGREES. AND IT WILL BE A LITTLE WINDY OUT THERE ABOUT 10 TO 15 MILE PER HOUR WINDS. ENOUGH TO TAKE THOSE WIND CHILLS DOWN INTO THE TEENS FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY. AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FOUR DAYS, TWO COLD ONES, TWO WARM ONES LOOKING FOR HIGH OF 42 AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ON VALENTINE\u2019S DAY ON SATURDAY AND THEN ON SUNDAY. MOSTLY CLOUDY, 43 DEGREES. BIG STORM GOING TO THE SOUTH OF US WILL BE RIGHT ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THAT, SO WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLE DOWN TO THE SOUTH. EVERYBODY ELSE WILL REMAIN DRY AND THEN WE WARM IT UP MORE 45 DEGREES ON MONDAY FOR VETERAN\u2019S DAY. AND THEN WE GO INTO THE REST OF THE WEEK AND HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 50S 52 ON TUESDAY, 54 ON WEDNESDAY AND 55 ON THURSDAY. LET\u2019S MAKE MONDAY PRESIDENT\u2019S DAY. LET\u2019S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING AS FAR AS THE SNOW GOES UP TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW, VERY LIGHT OR FLURRIES THAT ARE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. AS WE WIDEN OUT THE SHOT HERE, YOU CAN SEE WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SNOW THAT\u2019S COMING OFF THE LAKES, A LITTLE LAKE EFFECT, IT LOOKS LIKE, WHICH IS KIND OF SURPRISING BECAUSE MOST OF LAKE ERIE IS FROZEN. AND ONCE IT\u2019S FROZEN, IT\u2019S PRETTY LIMITED AS FAR AS HOW MUCH MOISTURE YOU CAN GET OUT OF THERE. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IS THE CASE ON LAKE HURON AND LAKE ERIE. THAT WILL CUT OFF TOMORROW AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. A FEW FLURRIES IN THE MORNING. IT WILL BE CLOUDY, BUT WE\u2019LL KEEP IT DRY. AND THEN WE GO INTO FRIDAY AND WE WILL SEE THE CLOUDS THAT WILL DEPART ON FRIDAY WILL BECOME MOSTLY SUNNY. AND THEN ON SATURDAY, MOST OF US WILL SEE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ON SATURDAY AS WELL. TAKE A LOOK AT THE STORM COMING IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON SUNDAY. IT\u2019S HUGE ALL THE WAY FROM PITTSBURGH, ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO FLORIDA, BUT WE\u2019RE RIGHT ON THAT NORTHERN EDGE FOR THE SOUTH. A BETTER CHANCE YOU HAVE OF SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN, AND THE FURTHER NORTH YOU ARE, YOU\u2019LL LIKELY STAY DRY WITH SOME CLOUDS AROUND, AND THAT WILL MOVE OFF AS WE GO LATER INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SO YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE LOOKS LIKE THIS. TWO COLD DAYS, TWO FAIRL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Big Chill before warming temperatures<\/p>\n<p>Big Chill before warming temperatures<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769019068_844_wtae.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WTAE logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 8:09 PM EST Feb 11, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtae.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWeekend warm upHigh temperatures will hover close to the freezing mark with lows in the teens and lower 20s through the end of the week.
