Back in the Cold
    Hi 32 F
Lo 23 F
 

Hope you got a chance to enjoy our very short-lived warm up... because it is officially gone!  Back is the cold from Canada- maybe more accurately, the Arctic!  Yes, this is going to be a sharp cold snap the next couple of days.  Thursday will be the coldest feeling day because of strong winds and some cloudiness.  Wind chill values will be in the 10s most of the day.  Friday will be cold, but not as windy.  We will finally start getting this arctic air mass to move away by Saturday but temperatures will remain below average, which would be a high in the mid 40s.  Sunday should bring us a decent day with highs in the mid to upper 40s and some sunshine.
