After a brief return to near-normal temperatures Sunday and Monday, a strong cold front will push through again Tuesday, bringing another unusually cold weather snap for the middle of next week and a slight chance of a winter weather event possible beginning as sleet and transitioning to snow before the moisture disappears.
