Synopsis:
The bitter blast will continue grip the area Saturday. Despite abundant sun, readings will be hard pressed to get out of the teens. Windchills this morning will be near or below zero. Please dress in layers and wear a hat. Frostbite can occur within minutes on exposed skin.
Another frigid night is expected tonight. Lows inland will dip below zero.
On Sunday, sun will give way to clouds. The well advertised storm will be on the way for Sunday Night into Monday. The potential is there for snow inland changing over to a mix or rain. An accumulation is likely before the changeover. A few to several inches are possible. By the coast a quick shot of snow is likely at the onset, but it looks mainly like a rain event. Concern is there for a period of high winds and coastal flooding Sunday night into Monday morning.
The storm will pull away Monday morning with rain or a mix ending early. The sun will return during the afternoon for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Readings will be a few degrees above the average high of 39º.
A mix of sun and clouds will greet us for Tuesday with chilly temperatures.
Tuesday will have a respite with readings a few degrees above the average high under partly sunny skies. High pressure will dominate.
