Cold air hangs around for the next few days
WEDNESDAY: After a cold start to the morning with temperatures in the 20s, it will be a sunny but chilly day with temperatures in the mid 40’s along with a northwest wind at 10-15 mph. Wind chill by the afternoon will only rise to the mid to upper 30s.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear skies will remain in place as lows drop towards 20 by morning. Northwesterly winds up to8 mph will create for wind chills in the low teens for the Wednesday AM commute. Some areas will see feels like temperatures in the single digits.
EXTENDED: The northwest flow aloft pattern will continue to pull waves of cold air into the region, with temperatures falling into the 30s for highs by Thursday and overnight lows near 20 with some upper teens possible. There is a chance we could see some flurries to light snow as we head into late Friday as a system tracks to our north. Accumulating snow is unlikely but we’ll monitor and have updates as needed. The weekend will see a slow warming trend as we remain dry. By the start of next week temperatures look to moderate back towards seasonal, as highs will top out in the lower 40s.
