Coldest air of the season arrives tonight
FRIDAY: Temperatures start off near 30 Friday morning, only reaching into the upper 30s in the afternoon as another fast moving wave of low pressure aloft moves through. This will bring a chance of flurries or brief light snow Friday afternoon but no accumulation is expected from this. An icy wind will increase to 15 mph in the afternoon, gusting to 25 and wind chill readings will drop into the upper teens by evening.
TONIGHT: Skies clear out for tonight bringing bitterly cold temperatures to the area. By Saturday morning lows will be in the teens, which could break the record low of 18 from 1926. With winds out of the northwest up to 8 mph wind chill drops into the single digits early Saturday morning.
EXTENDED: After the coldest morning of the season, highs rise into the upper 30s, with wind chill values staying in the 20s in the afternoon. Well have sunshine all day long, but it won’t help out much. Some clouds will move in Sunday and it looks warmer, with highs in the mid 40s. We are keeping an eye on the potential for snow Sunday night into Monday, but until there is more agreement on forecast models, confidence is low. Another surge of cold air moves in Monday, dropping our high temperatures back into the upper 30s Monday and only in the lower 30s Tuesday.
