If you’ve been waiting for winter to really show up, it looks like your wish is about to come true. The National Weather Service says a wave of Arctic air is headed our way, bringing the coldest temperatures we’ve seen so far this season, along with potentially dangerous wind chills.
Several Hours of Sub-Zero Wind Chills Expected
According to the National Weather Service, this weekend is expected to be bitterly cold. We may even see wind chills dip into the negative.
The next few days will be a good time to prepare before a wave of Arctic air brings the coldest temperatures of the season to the region this weekend. High temperatures will struggle to climb out the 20s and periods of sub-zero wind chills are possible both Saturday and Sunday. While the temperatures will be cold, no winter weather is expected. – NWS via Facebook
