Coldest air in almost 13 years expected this weekend

Get ready for the Arctic blast!  Temperatures will take a big tumble behind a strong Arctic cold front that will move through Saturday morning.  High temperatures this weekend will only reach the middle 20's with wind chills remaining in the single digits.

If the current forecast holds true, we could be on track to have the coldest two day stretch for so early in the season since November 21st and 22nd, 2000!  Highs November 21st, 2000 were around 30° with the mercury only climbing to 26° on the 22nd.  Adding insult to injury, this cold snap will have some incredibly cold wind chills for November.  With wind chills forecast to stay in the single digits during the day Saturday and near zero Saturday night, it would mean the forecasted wind chills would be the coldest prior to December since November 26th, 2010!  Bottom line, it's been a while since we've felt this type of cold this early in the season.
