Discussion
Intensely cold air is headed this way for the weekend and temperatures are likely to bottom out well below zero for overnight lows by early tomorrow and early Sunday. To add to the winter misery, winds will be strong and wind chill values will remain at dangerously low levels all weekend long. In addition, snow showers will be possible at just about anytime from tonight into the late weekend and this will act to reduce visibility given the windy conditions. Moderation in temperatures will take place by the middle of next week, but additional Arctic air outbreaks are likely to impact the region down the road.
