Strong winds Friday keep temperatures cold throughout the day

A Wind Advisory has been issued for Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll and Whiteside counties through noon Friday. 

It's hard to believe when you step outside today that temperatures Thanksgiving were in the low 60s.  Now, we've dropped into the upper 20s/low 30s.  Northwest winds sustained around 30-35 mph, with gusts nearing 40 mph, will continue through the morning until high pressure slides into central Illinois.  Temperatures have been dropping since early this morning and will continue to do so without much recovery in the afternoon. 

Wind chills throughout the morning have dropped into the teens and just like the temperature, those chills will remain in the teens into the afternoon.  With a breeze remaining night overnight lows will drop near 20 degrees but wind chills will fall into the single digits in some of the outlying, cooler areas.  Despite sunshine to start the day Saturday it will remain cold with highs in the middle 30s.
