Heavy Duty Cold Weather Gear Needed…If you didn’t think it was cold enough, Mother Nature will try and do better by the middle of the week as downright bitter, and dangerously, cold air blows into town. Scattered snow showers will accompany the arctic blast as a couple of upper level disturbances rotate across the state between today and Wednesday. Wind chills of 20 to 25 below zero can be expected Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Additionally, we’ll run the chance of breaking our coldest high temperature on record for Feb. 19th- Thursday (currently 12 degrees).
After a bitter, but dry couple of days to close the work week, we eye the upcoming weekend for our next storm system. For now we’ll forecast increasing cloudiness late Friday and a wintry mix overspreading the region Saturday. We’ll become more detailed in regards to precipitation type, amounts, and timing over the next day, or two. Fresh arctic air will flow in here to close the weekend.
