Friday Night

An arctic high pressure system diving in clears skies out Friday night and allows the mercury to plunge back toward -20 with wind chills making it feel like the -30s overnight.

Saturday

Skin can freeze in 10 to 30 minutes if exposed to extreme -30 wind chills rolling in Saturday morning, so be sure to bundle up when heading out early in the day.

Mostly sunny skies and a breezy southwesterly wind during the day will help warm us up into minus single digits for an afternoon high with wind chills staying in the minus teens before clouds return in the evening.
