Following the storm that brought ice, heavy rain and dangerous travel to eastern Pennsylvania on Sunday, another storm could pass close enough to bring snow to Harrisburg on Wednesday.
The warmest portion of this week will be the first part with temperatures reaching to near 40 F or higher in many areas through Monday afternoon.
In the wake of Sunday's rain, motorists and pedestrians are advised to watch for icy spots Monday morning with temperatures briefly dipping to near freezing. Some surfaces may not have had a chance to dry off.
As the week progresses, colder air will settle in, while a storm cruises southeastward from western Canada.

Depending on the track of that storm, there is a chance of accumulating snow and travel delays on Wednesday. A shift in track of as little as 50 miles may determine whether or not enough snow falls to shovel and plow, and make roads slippery.
