Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast
The Arctic air has arrived just in time for the weekend!
If you're heading out, it will be all about the layers! Layer up to stay warm. Temperatures will warm to around the freezing mark this afternoon, but it will feel more like the teens. Winds will be out of the northwest at 15-20 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph. There will be a mix of sun and clouds. We could see a few flurries, but won't amount to anything.
Temperatures will plummet into the teens to near 20 overnight. The wind will make temperatures feel like the single digits. Skies will be mostly clear. Those temperatures are cold enough to freeze pipes, so let your faucets drip overnight.
Lots of sunshine on Sunday, but it will be deceiving! Temperatures will warm to the mid 30s, but wind chills will be in the teens.

If you're not a fan of the winter chill, a warming trend will start on Monday.
The Climate Prediction Center is also forecasting warmer than normal conditions through the end of January.
Monday will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 40s.
Rain chances will remain low on Tuesday, but we'll see more clouds than sunshine. Highs will soar to the mid 50s, which is above normal for this time of year.
Get ready for even warmer weather!
We'll enter a soggy stretch by midweek, but it will also feel more spring-like.
Temperatures will soar to the low 60s on Wednesday with scattered showers possible.
Wet weather will continue on Thursday with highs in the mid 60s and then many areas will climb to near 70 on Friday. Unfortunately, we will have to deal with some showers, but at least it will be mild.
