Today was the day I questioned if I like winter. It happens every winter, usually on a cold and windy day. Daytime readings struggled to approach freezing across the region.

Tomorrow (Saturday): It’s another cold one from start to finish. Fortunately, there is lots of sun, and winds are much lower than today. Under blue skies, highs rise to around freezing. Winds turn to come from the south around 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday: There could be a few breaks early, but clouds tend to win out nonetheless. Showers become increasingly possible with time. If anything gets into the area during the morning, some patchy freezing rain is possible north and west. Highs rise to a near 40 to mid-40s range. Winds are out of the south-southwest around 10 mph, with gusts around 20 mph.
