PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- We're just one day away from the official start to spring, but i'll feel much cooler than it has for the past few days.

This week will see high temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s through the end of the weekend in a return to the reality of March weather.

The Philadelphia area could see a shower -- or snow shower farther north -- Wednesday night into Thursday morning. But right now, nothing looks to be significant.

Monday's high will be around 51 degrees with mostly sunny skies.

Keep the coats close for a bit, because there's no major warm-up or return to the 60s or 70s in the foreseeable future, though next week things will thaw out slightly. The week stays breezy and cool, with the coldest day coming on Tuesday, aka the first day of spring.
