Tuesday's severe storms spawned multiple tornadoes, with precipitation ongoing ahead of a wintry cold front that will bring freezing temperatures with wind chill values close to 0 degrees back to the region.

A taste of spring is set to return once again in time for the weekend, when the area will likely see temperatures back in the 60s.
