Following a cold frontal passage yesterday, bitterly cold air has spilled into the region on strong northwest winds. Highs today will struggle into the mid 20s while wind gusts to 30mph will make it feel like it is in the teens.

Tonight will see temperatures drop into the low teens for lows, warming to the mid 20s for highs again tomorrow.

There is a slight chance of light snow, with little to no accumulation tomorrow night as a weak system passes through.

A return to sunshine on Thursday, with highs in the upper 20s to near 30.

A quick moving storm system will move our way from the southwest on Friday. Current model output has the storm moving basically over the state. This scenario would bring snow, changing to a wintry mix Friday.

As per usual, the exact track of the low will determine how much and of what type of precipitation we see, but current trends are towards a colder solution with a majority of precipitation as snow and sleet.

Behind the system, a cold but clear weekend is on tap before temperatures begin to climb as we head into next week.
