Winter is approaching! After a brief warm up for the middle of this week, a potent cold front followed by reinforcing arctic air will push through the region. We are currently looking at high temperatures well below average in the single digits to teens Saturday, with even colder temperatures Sunday. Below is a graphic showing the Day Time Highs / Morning Lows for several locations for Thursday through Monday.
