BITTER COLD TO GET MORE BITTER

ITS JUST NOT ENOUGH COLD FOR OLD MAN WINTER. After this wave of bitter cold for the shorten work week, comes a smack of cold in the days to follow.

Lets start off with today. Temperatures which are now around 10 degrees for most hometowns will remain so for the rest of the day. Add just enough wind out of the north and we're looking at wind chills as cold as -20 degrees in most spots.

It just gets more brutal overnight as an area of high pressure moves over the fresh snow cover and allows temperatures to plummet into the -10 to -20 degree range by Friday morning. Even with lighter winds, wind chills will likely be as cold as -30 degrees!

Temperatures will improve briefly Friday before peaking on Saturday as a weak disturbance slides in form the Plains. Highs on Friday will return in the teens before soaring around 30 degrees by Saturday. Unfortunately, thats the warmest I see it getting until the following weekend. After a few passing snow showers later Saturday, comes a more brutal wave of cold air that arrives on Sunday night and last right through early next week. This will be a period where temperatures, including wind chill temperatures will remain below zero! This is a stretch we haven't felt since the winter of 1996 when we had 120 straight hours of temperatures below zero!
