Coming out of our first deep overnight freeze of the season last night in the city, today’s temperatures struggled to get into the 40s. Fortunately, winds were light, so they didn’t add much to the chill. We’re definitely not getting much in the way of help from the sun, even though it’s rather bright. Probably that winter solstice thing.

       Through tonight: Skies will remain mostly clear. That will help temperatures quickly return to near and below freezing with sundown. Lows will range from the mid-20s to near 30 in most spots, probably with some low 20s in the typical cold areas to the north and west.

       Tomorrow (Tuesday): We’ll see more clouds than today. I think they will largely be high level and rather thin, but they could cover the sky at times. Temperatures will try for the mid-40s, which is a little warmer than today and not bad with light winds.
