Skies are mostly clear early on this Thursday morning and it is cool with temperatures ranging from the upper 30s here in Clifton to the upper 20s further inland, winds are light out of the north. There may be some patchy fog in some of the inland valleys.
A weak high pressure will give our area dry conditions today, we may see some increase in clouds late this afternoon as an Arctic cold front approaches.
The Arctic front will pass through early on Friday morning possibly accompanied by a few snow flurries inland and followed by a strong northwest flow of much colder air, high temperatures will be reached in the morning and then drop to below freezing by sunset. Along with the cold temperatures winds are expected to gust to over 30 mph bringing wind chills down to the 20s through the day. Lows overnight will drop off to the teens which will set record cold values throughout the area.
Winds diminish on Saturday but it still will be rather cold. Dry weather to continue into Sunday with temperatures closer to normal.
A weak disturbance may give us some precipitation Sunday night into Monday mostly in the form of rain but may start off as a mixture of snow inland.
