Good evening, everyone. Sunny skies sure helped the cause today, but massive flooding persists in several areas following a widespread flood event. As we get ready to flip the calendar to March, the pattern starts to take on more of a winter look.

Temps are seasonally chilly to begin the upcoming week, but the numbers climb as the week rolls on. This will come with very windy weather and temps spiking close to 60 by the second half of the week. That’s ahead of a strong storm system moving in here for the upcoming weekend.

This has true arctic air behind it and may take us from thunderstorms to snowflakes in a matter of hours…

The cold coming in behind that is very impressive as gusty northwest winds continue. Wind chills are forecast to take a walk on the frigid side…

Holy smokes!

The amount of cold coming this weekend into next week is impressive…

With that amount of cold, we will need to watch for a more southern storm track taking shape. That shows up on all the models and could mean winter weather for our region…

Enjoy the rest of your evening and take care.
