WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST THIS MORNING. Very cold wind chills expected. The cold wind chills will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin. Expect wind chills to range from 5 below zero to 25 below zero.
We have about 36 more hours of this arctic air we have had over the area around Christmas. A major change in our weather pattern will begin on Sunday as the polar jet goes north of this area for awhile. This will mean this coming week will be significantly warmer than the past 2 weeks.
The warmer air comes Sunday. This surge of moisture will bring a period of light snow to the area Sunday into Sunday night. Once in the warmer air we will see highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s most of next week. The next storm will be in the Thursday time frame. This could mean precipitation free weather Monday through Wednesday.
