Discussion

A strong Arctic cold front pushed through the area on Thursday morning and today will turn out to be one of the coldest days so far this season with high temperatures likely confined to the low-to-mid 30’s. In addition, stiff NW winds will produce much lower wind chill values making it feel even colder than those well below-normal ambient temperatures. Moderation begins this weekend and it’ll turn noticeably milder for the early part of next week to go along with the chance of rain.
