After dropping into the teens and 20s Tuesday night with widespread frost, we’ll rebound nicely and be a tad milder Wednesday, with highs in the 40-45 degree range in many communities and in the 30s in the far North Country. It won’t be as bright, as a number of clouds are anticipated to mix with the sunshine and a few mountain flurries are likely.
