1/16 – The Chief’s “HARD FREEZE WARNING Tonight” Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

WIND CHILL & HARD FREEZE WARNINGS in effect tonight…

Temperatures will struggle to warm into the 40s this afternoon especially with a strong north wind gusting into the 20 mph range. A HARD FREEZE and WIND CHILL WARNING is in effect for tonight into Wednesday morning. Temperatures will drop to 17 degrees tonight with more than likely several locations hitting new RECORD LOW numbers. Temperatures will once again struggle to warm up tomorrow with the continued cold-air advection.

After a frigid morning, temperatures will moderate into the mid to upper 40s on Wednesday, resulting in a pretty impressive diurnal spread for this part of the country. Another system will bring rain to the area Thursday night into Friday with yet another blast of cold air this weekend…just not as cold as tonight though.
