The front that left a blanket of snow and ice from New Mexico to North Carolina is getting ready to blast us with a week of winter!
Today will be the warmest day of the week. Temperatures are already falling and will continue through early Tuesday morning. Multiple freeze and hard freezes this week. Afternoon highs will remain less than seasonal through the weekend. Reinforcing cold air will bring another round of Freeze and Hard Freeze temperatures this weekend.
A Freeze Warning will be in effect from 10 p.m. - 10 a.m. A Cold Weather Advisory due to low wind chill temperatures follows the same times as the Freeze Warning. A Freeze Watch will become a Warning Tuesday into Wednesday morning.
