A breezy southwesterly wind helped warm temperatures out of the -20s and into the minus teens to start the day before pushing up further into minus single digits under partly to mostly cloudy skies.

-25 is around what it’ll feel like to start the third day of the new year Wednesday morning.

It’ll be a bit of a gloomier day in the clouds with a chance of flurries, particularly in the middle of the day, as we rise up to an afternoon high around -10.
