Despite the northwest wind Thursday afternoon temperatures were still able to warm well into the 30s, reaching the upper 30s area wide. Unfortunately, the wind did make it feel roughly 10 degrees cooler. Winds will continue to ease through the night before ramping up shortly after sunrise Friday.
The 'warm-up' will continue into Friday as southwest winds take hold bringing temperatures into the low 40s. However, wind gusts will top 30-35 mph which will, again, make it feel roughly 10 degrees cooler during the afternoon.
A strong cold front racing in from the northwest Friday evening will quickly shift winds around to the northwest, bring temperatures from the 40s during the afternoon down into the upper teens Friday night. Gusty northwest winds will continue into Saturday morning pushing wind chills into the low single digits, with chills not warming much during the afternoon.
Precipitation chances remain limited locally with the front Friday, staying further to our southeast during the afternoon and evening. In fact, precipitation chances will remain rather limited throughout the weekend as a strong Arctic high pressure system moves in Saturday and Sunday.
The Arctic high will push a series of cold front through the Stateline, each one bringing temperatures down through the beginning of next week. Highs on Saturday will only warm to around 20 degrees, but then drop into the single digits (yes, single digits) for Sunday! The cold will last through at least the middle of next week.
