Tracking flurries today and frigid air taking over by the weekend
TODAY: I'm tracking clouds increasing throughout the afternoon ahead of light showers and flurries arriving through the later afternoon/evening hours as temperatures get into the low 40s. If flurries are observed, most will see trace accumulations at most, but higher totals will stay below 1". Winds will be out of the northwest at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. These breezy winds may cause visibility issues as snow falls.
TONIGHT: I'm tracking flurries exiting as temperatures plummet into the teens by the end of the night. Clouds will persist as winds continue to blow out of the northwest at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, leading to temperatures feeling like they are near 0 degrees.
EXTENDED: I'm tracking temperatures only warming into the low 20s by Saturday afternoon as breezy northerly winds continue to make it feel like it is in the single digits throughout the day. Clouds will exit by Sunday morning, which will help temperatures drop back down into the single digits. Breezy winds will make it feel below 0 degrees Sunday morning, which is why an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day will be in effect.

This frigid air will persist throughout Monday, but sunshine and southerly winds will aid in a mid-week warmup before more chances for showers by Thursday.
