Following a strong arctic cold front Wednesday afternoon, temperatures are set to plummet as clouds will thin out. Overnight lows will drop down toward zero, while wind chill values will make it feel closer to -10 or -15 by early Thursday morning!
While the afternoon high temperature Thursday will return back to the low teens above zero, wind chills may remain closer to zero even under a very light breeze. Temperatures again drop toward zero Thursday night, with wind chills down around -10.
The overnight low temperatures below zero the next two nights would be the earliest in the season we have seen subzero temperatures since 1991! Forecast lows will return to the teens by Friday night with our next weather system passing overhead.
The Stateline will be toeing the line of much colder air to the North and milder air to the South. This will funnel several "clipper" systems our direction over the next week, with each of them featuring a slim chance for snow or mixed precipitation. The most favorable windows for wintry precipitation in the near term appear to be Friday into Saturday, then Saturday into Sunday.
