Extreme Cold Warning in Effect: Take Precautions
Current Weather Conditions
An Extreme Cold Warning is in effect until 9 a.m. Thursday. Bitter cold wind chills between zero and -10 are again expected Thursday morning.
Prepare for the Cold
Expect the cloudy skies to clear through the evening, with Wednesday night’s low temperature falling to a record low of 13. That means pipes could freeze, so continue dripping faucets and keep cabinets open. Make sure your pets are inside as well.
Weather Forecast
Thursday will remain quite cold, but there will be more sunshine and less wind, so it should feel slightly better by afternoon, even though the high will be near 32. Friday will feature more clouds, but afternoon temperatures will climb above freezing into the mid-30s.
Weekend Forecast
The weekend will be gradually warmer, with Saturday highs in the upper 40s and Sunday reaching 60. The warmup will continue with highs in the 70s Monday through Wednesday next week.
