The snow is behind us (though another storm could be on the way), so now the focus turns to the bitter, bone-chilling cold that has settled in — and won’t be moving on any time soon.
After a comparatively pleasant Monday temperature-wise, gusty winds ushered Arctic air into the region Monday night.Those winds are going to make it truly miserable starting Tuesday morning.
Heading to work or school in the morning will be almost painful, with lows in the single digits. It won’t get much better during the day, with highs only reaching the low 20s.
It will be more of the same for the rest of the work week, with Thursday being particularly brutal, as highs may not even reach 20. Expect daytime wind chills in the teens, and overnight/morning wind chills in the single digits through much of the week.
The cold eases a bit for the weekend, but temperatures will still be well below average and barely approaching the freezing mark. Turning the calendar to February on Sunday could bring temperatures back into the 30s — still frigid, but at least an betterment.
