Clouds that are lingering through much of the evening will gradually thin out overnight as a drier, colder air mass settles in. With those skies clearing, temperatures will be quick to tumble, dropping well down into the teens by early morning. Wind chills will make it feel even colder, and the bitter conditions may be enough to prompt some school delays for kids heading out at the start of the day.
By the afternoon, sunshine will mix with a few passing clouds, helping temperatures rebound into the mid-30s. While that’s still chilly for this time of year, it will feel noticeably more manageable compared to the morning’s brutal cold.
Clouds make a return Friday night as moisture increases from the west. By Saturday, expect mostly cloudy skies to dominate once again.
The next weather-maker arrives Sunday as a cold front sweeps through the region. That front could spark periods of light snow, and current computer models suggest around an inch of accumulation or perhaps slightly more in a few localized spots.
Behind the front, another push of Arctic air reinforces the deep freeze heading into next week. Temperatures will remain stubbornly cold, running about 10 to 12 degrees below average for several days. While no major storms are expected early next week, the persistent chill will keep roads slick in the mornings and maintain the wintery feel across the region.
