Forecast in detail
The Arctic air surging into the region is the coldest in nearly three years, but is short lived. While freezing temperatures dominate through Tuesday, we rebound into the 40s by midweek. We will see some chilly air return late Thursday into the weekend, and perhaps another chance or two of snow.
Today (Monday): Use caution heading out this morning in case any wet areas turned to ice overnight. It’s sunny today, but don’t let that deceive you. Highs struggle to reach freezing and, as winds from the northwest gust up to 30 mph, it feels like the 20s and teens much of the day. Confidence: High
