Continued snowfall followed by bitter cold into Monday morning

 

Following the steady snow showers that moved through the region yesterday we will once again see a very similar situation play out this afternoon. With another upper-level wave pushing through this afternoon, steady snow showers will be possible starting as early as 12-1 p.m. for Northwestern portions of the region while areas east will see steady snowfall by 2-3 p.m. Just like yesterday though, snowfall totals won't be much to worry about as most areas will remain under 2 inches today.

The main concern will be the bitter cold that follows this afternoon's snowfall as a strong arctic front will plummet temperatures across the state line into tomorrow morning. Surface temperatures will drop below zero into tomorrow morning while Wind Chill values accompanying that will drop near -20°. This has prompted the Nation Weather Service to issue Cold Weather Advisories through the night tonight into tomorrow late morning.

As mentioned, temperatures will plummet quickly into the night which will be accompanied by wind gusts as high as 35 mph into the early morning hours. This will plummet Wind Chill temperatures well below zero and even possibly below -20°. If you do plan on being outside tomorrow morning, make sure to limit time outdoors and dress with multiple layers as frostbite in these conditions can develop in 30 minutes or less.
