PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The weather story for the next few days will be all about an incoming cold snap. Highs in the mid-40s Tuesday drop to the low 40s by Wednesday and Thursday.

Wind chill will play a role through midweek, especially on Wednesday with chills that'll barely make it above freezing.

It will be cold in the Philadelphia region this week but we're not expecting a major snow storm. A stray flurry could fall Wednesday but no major impacts are expected.

Once we reach the end of the week, the cooldown will wrap up and temps will warm back into the upper 50s to near 60s this weekend.
