0:00/ 0:00LIVEQualityAuto  AudioSubtitleSpeedNormal  

TODAY: Friday is cloudy, blustery, and cold. Expect overcast skies this morning, becoming partly cloudy by the afternoon. Some sunshine may be visible in the west this morning. Wind chills will be a big part of the forecast, with feels like temperatures in the 10s to 20s this morning, but also through the day, as north winds around 10-15 mph keep us around 32 for highs.

TONIGHT: We fall into the 20s overnight, with clouds lingering into Saturday morning.

EXTENDED: Saturday starts cloudy with lows near 20, and calming winds. Slowly, we'll see a return of south winds, which isn't enough to get us out of the 30s. By Sunday, south winds and sunshine put us into the mid-40s. On Monday, some may see 50, but this will come with shower chances. We'll see chances for rain Monday through Tuesday. Up until now Christmas was looking dry, but now, trends are slowing the exit of moisture, which has now increased rain chances for Wednesday and Thursday. We still look warm, with highs in the 50s by Christmas, and no snow chances in the forecast.
