Despite the cold easing to close out the weekend, there are concerns for icing in Harrisburg before the arrival of a dangerous cold blast.
Harrisburg will escape the worst of the snowstorm that is taking aim at Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit.
The track of the snowstorm will instead lead to a brief rebound in temperatures and some rain for Harrisburg Sunday through Monday morning.
Temperatures will returns to the 30s from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.
However, the warming will not take place quick enough to prevent a bit of rain from freezing on some surfaces Sunday morning before a changeover to plain rain.

While not enough ice will accumulate to cause widespread tree damage and power outages, it only takes a little ice to turn untreated roads, parking lots and sidewalks extremely slippery.
Slick spots will once again be a concern for motorists and residents as the snowstorm's cold front sweeps through and ushers in dramatically colder air.
Temperatures will plunge from the 30s Monday morning to the 20s by the end of Monday, causing any standing water on untreated roads and sidewalks to turn icy. The invading cold air will also cause the rain Monday morning to end as a little snow.
Lows in the single digits Monday night, highs near 10 F on Tuesday and dangerously colder AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures will force those in Harrisburg to bundle up to avoid enduring frostbite or hypothermia.
