Discussion
An Arctic blast has arrived following the passage of an overnight cold front and temperatures today will track some 15-20 degrees colder than yesterday. The winds will be quite strong right through tonight bringing wind chill levels down to single digits and there can be a couple of snow showers along the way. It stays well below-normal during the next couple of days and additional snow showers are possible later Thursday into Thursday night. Temperatures moderate on Friday and then it turns milder to start the weekend with the threat of rain shower activity on Saturday. An Arctic cold front arrives by Sunday paving the way for a much colder week ahead, and there can be some snow early next week as we transition to the colder pattern.
