Good morning everyone!
Skies are mainly clear early on this Friday morning and once again it is bitterly cold with readings ranging from 7 above in Clifton down to 2 below at High Point. Winds are a little gusty out of the northwest so inland valleys are not as cold as yesterday morning. The air quality is good with an index of 24.

Frigid weather to continue today and tomorrow as Arctic high pressure extends from central Canada to our area. Both days will have mostly sunny skies with high temperatures both days near 20 while overnight lows Saturday morning will be well down in the single digits.
The developing storm for Sunday looks to stay offshore with little or no affects to our area except for maybe some snow flurries and an increase in winds.
Most of next week will not be as frigid but temperatures will remain well below normal. We should stay dry except for a chance of light snow of Wednesday evening.
We look to return to the deep freeze by next weekend.
