Hazardous cold is expected much of next week and there is a low chance for wintry precipitation late Monday into Tuesday. The most likely scenario is just flurries or some very light accumulations during this time. If we can get into a little more moisture, then some accumulations of 1 to 2 inches will be possible across our southeast counties. No significant impacts are expected at this time. Continue to monitor the forecast over the coming days and be prepared for the cold temperatures.
Multiple days of frigid weather are expected following a tonight/Saturday arctic front. Morning wind chills will be in the single digits and teens. Expect highs mostly in the 30s and lows in the teens and 20s. There is a moderate chance that several locations along the Red River will stay below freezing Sunday through Tuesday. Be sure to protect the 4 Ps!
Arctic air will begin to push into the region late tonight as a cold front pushes south. The front will be all the way through the region by Saturday morning, with temperatures dropping throughout the day. Wind chills will gradually plummet as well, dipping into the teens by late Saturday night. Be sure to protect the 4 Ps!
