Nowcast-
Under clear skies, temperatures are in the single digits and northeast winds blow 15-25 mph along the high ridges. Throw in a bit of windchill and temperatures register right around -15 degrees.... ouch. If you blinked, you probably missed Monday nights little storm that added a mighty inch or two to our vertically challenged snowpack.
Forecast-
Look for sunny skies with high temperatures climbing into the teens and mid 20's. The bigger news are the winds. A dry storm system brings elevated northeasterly winds to our zone today as it moves southwest across the state. Winds blast the ridges, blowing steadily in the 30's and 40's, especially midday, but should decrease by late afternoon.
Futurecast-
Today clocks in for the last cold day and night. Warmer temperatures and light winds prevail through the remainder of the workweek into the weekend.
