WHAT TO KNOW:

  • Temps hold steady Tuesday night
  • Spotty wintry mix Wednesday morning
  • Windy and colder on Wednesday
  • BRISK Thursday morning, below zero
  • More light snow on Saturday

FORECAST:

Clouds will move in Tuesday night and there may be a few spotty areas with a light wintry mix overnight. Temps will hold steady, near 32 degrees until early Wednesday morning

A strong cold front on Wednesday morning will bring windy conditions and cause the temperatures to be "flipped", meaning we are the warmest in the morning and colder throughout the day. As you head out to work or school, it will be in the low 30s. As you head home, it will have dropped into the upper 10s.

There is a small chance for a wintry mix during the morning, so be cautious for slick spots while driving.

We bottom out on Wednesday night with lows around -5 degrees. This will be the first time this season we will drop below zero. The wind should quickly calm on Wednesday night, so Thursday morning's wind chill will only be down around -10 to -15.

Thursday will be sunny, but cold with highs in the upper 10s. We'll hold in the 10s for Thursday night.

We slowly climb out of the bitter cold by the end of the week and into the weekend, with low 30s on Friday and Saturday.

Another storm system could impact the region with light snow on Saturday, possibly bringing a mix of rain and snow. At this time, it doesn't look as impactful as the winter storm we had this past weekend, but some small snow accumulation may be possible heading into Saturday evening.

By Sunday, it will be partly sunny and cooler, in the mid 20s.

Next week is trending to be at or warmer than average, with highs in the 30s and 40s.
