Bitterly Cold

Extensive low cloud cover before midnight and wind speeds near 10 mph all night kept the air mixed enough to prevent the temperature from really plummeting. Regardless, anyway you slice it, 16 is frigid to me. In some respects, today's weather will be similar to yesterday except it will be slightly cooler and we won't have to deal with the strong winds. This morning should be sunny, but clouds will increase later this afternoon and evening. I think we only hit 32 this afternoon so that means we'll experience a lengthy duration with below freezing temperatures. We likely won't rise above freezing again until late tomorrow morning. The good news is that winds should be much weaker than they were yesterday so the temperature shouldn't feel much colder. I think our coldest night will actually be tonight since clouds should exit the area and winds will be lighter. The temperature tomorrow morning will be around 13.

The arctic high shifts to the northeast of us tomorrow and we should warm back into the 40s. Tomorrow morning should be mostly sunny but low clouds will arrive in the afternoon. Another cold front approaches the area Sunday and will bring a chance of light rain. It will continue to be chilly with highs in the upper 40s. The front will bring a reinforcing shot of arctic air early next week, but a change to warmer weather is in store late next week.
