It might hit 60 today, but don't get used to it

We're having a strange little one-day interlude in the overall cold pattern that has established itself. With the help of sunshine and west winds downsloping off the mountains, warming and drying as they do so, we might get close to 60 degrees today. It's already 52 at noon in Roanoke.
The Arctic surge returns by Sunday afternoon, though. Other than the typical snow showers/flurries action we get when winds turn out of the northwest, the weather systems just aren't in sync for any major wintry precipitation through at least midweek. Could be some very cold weather with lows in the teens and even some single digits by Monday and Tuesday.
UPDATE 7:25 PM: Well, close ... it reached 59 in Roanoke. The cold front is coming with a few overnight showers, maybe snow showers toward morning.
