Wind chills could be as low as -15° Thursday morning

It goes without saying that the last 3 days weather-wise have been nothing but a blessing. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday came in with highs in the 50s, which is well above early-December standards as we're typically in the upper 30s. Unfortunately, it's back to reality as a trio of cold fronts, two from Monday and a stronger one scheduled to come through Wednesday will send temperatures tumbling into the second half of the work week.

Cloud cover will dominate most, if not all of Tuesday, which will limit our ability to effectively warm. This will result in a much cooler afternoon, placing highs near freezing. Wind chills will end up in the low 20s for much of the afternoon as a light northwest wind remains in place. Tonight, expect skies to stay mostly cloudy,  leaving lows in the low 20s.

Forecast models then show the strongest of the three cold fronts sliding through as Wednesday's morning commute gets underway. Along with the front will be the chance for flurries or light snow showers, which could have an brief impact on visibility. Especially once our winds begin to increase. 

The bigger story however is the rush of cold Arctic air that occurs behind the front. Afternoon highs will drop into the uppers 20s for Wednesday, then into the teens for Thursday. Wind chills will be in the single digits early on Wednesday but will drop well below zero overnight into Thursday morning. The coldest chills may approach -15° or -20°! Stay out of the cold as much as you can. If that is unavoidable, make sure to pack on those warm layers.
