Tracking wintry conditions holding strong

TODAY: Friday is shaping up COLD, with temperatures nearly 5 degrees colder than Thursday. Winds will be sustained near 20 mph, with gusts at times near 30, keeping wind chills in the low 20s. Clouds could produce a flurry or two, but no accumulations are expected.

TONIGHT: Cold air drops us into the low 20s and upper teens tonight, setting up the coldest morning all week for early Saturday.

EXTENDED: Clouds linger Saturday, as do the chances for isolated flurries. We'll stay cold, with a high near 30. Sunday, winds turn more southwesterly, and we warm into the upper 30s, adding more sunshine along the way. Monday, clouds are back, and we'll be tracking the potential for rain and snow. This system will likely bring snow from the southwest, and either undergo or already be in the process of a transition to rain. Precipitation amounts should be limited, and focused south. There's now more confidence in a push of cold air into next week, as high temperatures are forecast to drop into the 20s by Wednesday, and teens by Thursday, where a chance for snow appears at the end of the 7 day forecast.
