I'm going to go against the majority here and say that the minor precipitation event on Friday will be more in the way of light snow rather than freezing rain like the National Weather Service is prognosticating. I think the column of air above the surface is cool enough to support mainly snow but I do agree that some freezing rain is possible near the end of the storm. Nevertheless, this is a very minor event with only a little bit of percipitation included, however it does come at a bad time. So despite small precipitation numbers, the fact that it hits the morning rush hour could result in school delays and poor driving.
The precipitation basically ends Friday afternoon and we get a little break until Saturday when temperatures warm well into the 50's but also a good amount of rain possible. So Saturday will be mild but not the prettiest of days by any means.
Cooler but not overly cold weather then for Sunday.

As temperatures continue to slowly improve, our next precipitation event comes late tomorrow night into early Friday a.m. The system is moisture starved but may produce a touch of light wintry mix during morning rush hour Friday. Minor, but potentially bad timing.
Beyond that, Saturday stays on the grey side but significantly warmer for the weekend with temperatures in the 50s. In fact, despite minor cool downs early next week, I think temperatures stay mild for all of next week.
Beyond next week, however, may be another story. We'll worry about that when we get to it.
