At least one spot in York County recorded nearly half a foot of snow during Friday's storm, and after a weekend of bitter cold, the weather is expected to warm up in south-central Pennsylvania.

How warm could it get?

The mercury could push 60 degrees by the end of the week, according to National Weather Service meteorologist David Martin.

A high pressure system will move off the East Coast today, allowing a southerly flow of mild air to move in, he said. It also will bring some light, on-and-off rain to the area late this evening through Thursday night.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the 40s on Tuesday and Wednesday and into the 50s on Thursday and Friday. It's possible that the mercury could nick the 60-degree mark on Friday, Martin said.

It will feel more like March weather.

"Enjoy the break," he said.
