It sure felt like spring out there as Philadelphia and the surrounding communities enjoyed the start of the weekend, but this week wintry conditions will make a return with a chance for snow, especially north and west of the city.

This is what to know about the weather roller coaster taking the Delaware and Lehigh valleys on a ride:

Feeling like spring this past weekend

High temps on Friday and Saturday were mild -- in the upper 50s in Philadelphia and surrounding communities -- with some sun and clouds. There were some slight chances for a shower, but nothing major when it came to rainfall.

For Super Bowl Sunday, highs still pushed into the 50s, but temps started to cool down. The big changes then come Monday.

When might you see snow?

Rain is expected to move in by Monday night. As the system takes hold, temps are expected to dip from the 40s into the 30s.

Late Monday night into Tuesday morning, the rain could transition to snow. Some of that snow could stick, especially in northern and western neighborhoods. The wet weather is expected to move out by the afternoon.

There are some factors pushing back against accumulating snow in Philadelphia and the immediate suburbs.

Temps aren't expected to get below freezing in most neighborhoods. Also, the ground is warm from days of mild weather, so even snow that falls could melt.

However, some places could get some snow on the ground. Stay tuned for any possible estimates on how much.

Temps stay chilly once storm moves out

Don't expect warmth to return anytime soon. Highs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday aren't expected to get out of the low to mid 40s, with lows below freezing overnight.
