Chilly conditions with sunshine persist

We’ll bounce between some sunshine and passing clouds both days, but the mornings will remind you exactly what season we’re in. Overnight lows settle near 20 degrees, meaning cold starts, frosty windshields, and that moment of regret when you step outside without gloves. This is the kind of chill that sticks around all day, even with the sun out.

As we roll into Friday, the sky starts to change again. Clouds will increase as the next system edges closer, giving us a grayer end to the workweek. Temperatures don’t really budge, with highs staying parked in the 40s, keeping things firmly on the cool side.

Now, let’s talk about what’s next. Another winter setup will develop late Friday night into Saturday. Right now, confidence is at a moderate risk for snow moving in Saturday morning. A fast-developing storm along the coast will strengthen quickly just as an arctic blast charge in behind it. That combination sets the stage for snow to break out late Friday night and continue into Saturday. Snowfall looks light to moderate, but the bigger story may be how cold it gets. Daytime temperatures on Saturday struggle to get out of the mid-20s, meaning anything that falls is going to stick around.

Once the snow winds down, the cold digs in even deeper. Saturday night opens the door for a surge of bitter air, and by Sunday and Monday mornings, we’re talking about some of the coldest readings we’ve had in a long stretch. This is the kind of cold that freezes pipes, stiffens car doors, and makes even a quick step outside feel intense.

At the moment, there are no watches or warnings posted.
