In most cases, a First Alert Weather Day is declared days in advance of severe weather, whether it’s hazardous wind, hail, or flooding. In this case, winter weather could be bringing dangerous conditions to our area. Make sure to have a way of being alerted in the event a warning is issued for your location.

The wind will be westerly at 10 to 15 mph, gusting to 20 mph. The First Alert Weather Day will still be in place.

Temperatures on Sunday will be slightly cooler thanks to that passage, but otherwise not too terrible. In other good news, the Climate Prediction Center’s 6-10 day outlook has the area under a 60% chance of seeing above normal temperatures this final week of January and into the beginning of February.

Wind Chill Factors will be well below zero, so if you do have to be outside Wednesday Morning, make sure you bundle up. In terms of cloud cover, we will stay mainly sunny for the day on Wednesday.

A First Alert Weather Day has been declared for Thursday due to a prolonged hard freeze during the morning hours.

The extreme cold is firmly in the past. Today remains our best chance for snow for the rest of the week. A couple slick spots cannot be ruled out depending on how much snow your community picks up, but we have had much worse road conditions this Winter.

By Thursday, we’ll see temperatures reaching the 30s, with forecasts indicating a return to the 40s by Saturday, although these still fall short of the average high of the mid-40s for this time of year.

In the wake of an historic snowstorm on Tuesday, we are posting another First Alert Weather Day for Wednesday as the focus shifts to dangerous cold and travel.
