Synopsis:
Sunny, windy and becoming frigid today. Highs will occur just before sunrise and fall throughout the afternoon into the teens. Wind chills by mid-afternoon will be around 5 above over Southern areas to as low as -10 to the North. A slap in the face heading out doors for sure, especially due to the anonymously warm Winter we have had.
Tonight will be brutally cold with strong winds. Lows will fall to near the coldest it has been all season long. The numbers are ugly above (maps) for windchills overnight. Please dress in layers that tends to deaden the air between each layer and in turn keep your body warm.
Frigid sunshine will greet us for the first Saturday of February. A strong Arctic high will settle over the region. Temperatures will remain at least ten to fifteen degrees below average for afternoon highs.
Readings will soar on Sunday as the Arctic high rapidly moves offshore and a return Southwest flow develops. Readings will be at around twenty degrees higher than Saturday. The latter half of the weekend will definitely be the better half. It will feel like Spring by later afternoon! The tale of two seasons in one weekend.
Monday and Tuesday will feature a mix of clouds and sun as another high moves in from the West. Readings will be above average.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
