Winter Chill Intensifies Tuesday

Skies have remained cloudy most of Monday evening following the passage of a cold front late Sunday night.  While most of the snow has been falling across central and southern Illinois, there have been a few flurries flying to the northwest over Minnesota and Wisconsin.  Some of those light flurries may extent into southern Wisconsin Monday evening but won't amount to much going into the night.

Temperatures have been fairly steady in the mid 20's most of the evening, but are in the teens a little further to the northwest.  Cloud cover will stick with us through late evening before turning partly cloudy Tuesday morning.  Overnight lows will tumble into the upper teens but a breeze from the North will push wind chills in the single digits, only warming into the teens Tuesday afternoon.  Actual high temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 20's.

It won't be record breaking cold, but still cold enough.  The record low for Tuesday is 3 degrees set back in 1986 and the record cold high is 20 degrees, also set in 1986.
