CLEVELAND — Slowly warming temperatures are expected heading through the weekend.

A few lingering snow flurries and light lake-effect snow showers can't be ruled out during the morning on Friday. Clouds will be tough to clear out during the day. But I do expect a few peeks of sunshine, especially during the afternoon. High temperatures will climb into the lower and middle 20s during the afternoon.

The Arctic air also should be in full retreat this weekend. Saturday should see temperatures in the lower and middle 30s with lots of sunshine. Sunday looks cloudy with highs in the upper 30s. By Monday afternoon, we will be melting some snow with gusty winds and high temperatures in the 40 to 45 degree range. I also expect some rain to arrive for Tuesday with highs still in the lower 40s.

DAILY FORECAST:

Thursday Night: Scattered snow showers. Expect a trace to 2" for most. | Low: 14º

Friday: AM Flurries. Isolated PM sunshine. Slightly milder. | High: 25º

Saturday: Clouds/some sunshine. | High: 32º

Sunday: Mainly cloudy but thawing nicely! | High: 37º

Monday: Cloudy skies. Windy, a bit milder! | High: 44º

Tuesday: Scattered rain showers. Near normal temps. | High: 42º
