Friday was nice and sunny but the cold was back. After making the 30s for the first time in 5 days on Thursday, Temperatures stayed in the mid-20s for much of the Tri-State Friday afternoon. Good news; warmer air is ahead this weekend.

Tonight will be the final night of the extreme cold. Temperatures will fall into the teens for much of the area with wind chills even colder. The low temperature will be 15°. Winds from the south at 10 to 15 mph will lead to a wind chill between -4° and 8°. Clouds do start to build in overnight and as we head into Saturday morning.

Despite the cold air to start Saturday, we will see our warmest temperatures in the last seven days, with highs making it above freezing. Saturday's high will be 38° with wind chills into the low 30s. It won't be all sunshine and rainbows though. Cloud cover will continue through much of the day, with some areas of snow flurries to the north of the I-74 corridor. This will be very minimal and no accumulation is expected. There will be a few breaks in the clouds, but expect more clouds than the sun.

Saturday night will be much milder with a low only falling to 27°, the warmest morning since January 18. While it won't be as warm as Saturday, Sunday does bring us back into the low to mid-30s, above freezing at 33°.

This is just the start of a nice stretch of warmer temperatures. Our thaw really begins on Tuesday next week as temperatures make it above average for only the third time this month.
