3/04 All Zones Update: Arctic Airmass Remains This Weekend, Warming Trend Early Next Week

Happy Saturday! Very cold and blustery conditions are in store for today. Sunshine will be mixing with some clouds  as some instability remains in the atmosphere. But it should remain dry for most of the region with maybe a few spotty flurries over the Interior. Temperatures will only rise into the upper 20s or lower 30s this afternoon.

This will result in windchills in the single digits and teens throughout the day.
