Rare wind chill advisory in effect Thursday night

We have some big swings in the temperatures on the way over the next few days. A wind chill advisory is in effect for the area Thursday night and Friday behind the cold front. Winds will be gusting into the 30s and 40s and with temperatures in the 20s we could see single digit wind chill values north and teens south. These will be dangerous conditions to be out in for any length of time.

The big cold front is coming in on Thursday. Expect a few showers with that as temperatures warm into the low to mid 60s ahead of it. However by late in the day much colder weather moves in.

That system will send a blast of arctic air south, plunging temperatures into the 30s for highs on Friday with overnight lows in the teens and 20s.

We will stay very cold all the way through the weekend but with less wind after Friday.
