GOING, RIGHT LEANING EVERYONE IS GOING TO EXPERIENCE THE COLDEST AREA OF THE SEASON FOR SURE. AND YEAH, IT’S UNUSUALLY COLD. WE HAVE NOT HAD AIR QUITE THIS COLD IN MORE THAN 1020 YEARS ACROSS THE REGION. CHRISTMAS EVE LOOK FOR IN THE MID TWENTIES. SO WE’RE BELOW. WE’VE GOT CLEAR SKIES IN FORECAST FOR SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT WE’VE GOT THE WIND. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT WIND CHILL VALUES THAT ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND. TEMPERATURES THAT ARE DOWN IN THE TEENS. AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING, 18 AROUND 8 A.M. AND THEN TEMPERATURES CHRISTMAS DAY GET QUITE A STAY QUITE COLD, ONLY GET UP TO 32 BY LATE AFTERNOON. BUT WE ALSO HAVE SUNSHINE. IT’S NOT THE COLDEST CHRISTMAS THAT WE’VE EVER HAD. THAT WOULD BE 18 DEGREES IN 1983. AND WE’VE HAD OUR SHARE OF LOW THIRTIES ALL OF THESE THOUGH YOU SEE IN THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES SO HOLIDAY TRAVEL DRY TOMORROW WET ON THURSDAY. WIND YOUR BIGGEST ISSUE ON FRIDAY ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT COULD CAUSE SOME ISSUES. COLD THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY AND OF COURSE WE DO HAVE ANY SNOW ON THE GROUND IN THE MOUNTAINS YOU COULD HAVE SOME TRAVEL ISSUES INTO EARLY SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE COLD RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD TYPICALLY CALL A COLD DAY IN DECEMBER OR 36. AND BURLINGTON 37 IN MOCKSVILLE, 35 IN DANBURY, BELOW FREEZING. AND MEADOWS OF DAN AT 31 IS REAL COLD AND SPADA AT 30 DEGREES. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE’S EVEN A FEW FLAKES OR RAINDROPS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME SLEET PELLETS SOUTH AND EAST OF US. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT ALONG I-95, HEADED SOUTH DOWN TOWARD FAYETTEVILLE. AND THEN IT’S TRANSITIONS TO RAIN AND THERE’S A LOT OF RAIN DOWN HERE. THIS IS A STORM THAT IS GOING TO BE IMPACTING US TOMORROW NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE EARLY TOMORROW. THEN THE CLOUDS COME BACK AND READY FOR THAT RAIN TO RETURN, 44 TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO ANOTHER CHILLY DAY FOR HILLS WILL BE CHILLY TO 43 TOMORROW. NORTHEAST BREEZE KEEPS US COOL. SOME SUNSHINE EARLY CLOUDS RETURNING A SUNNY DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH CLOUDS THICKENING BY LATE AFTERNOON AND IT’S COLD UPPER THIRTIES BUT NOT THIS COLD WHERE OUR NUMBERS ARE IN THE 20 TO 30 BELOW ZERO CATEGORY FROM FARGO UP INTO CANADA. AND EVEN THAT COLD AIR MOVING SOUTH NOW CHICAGO AT 29, KANSAS CITY AT 20. AND BEHIND THIS FRONT GETTING READY TO BRING THAT COLD AIR INTO THE OHIO FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN BY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, THAT COLD AIR IS RUSHING INTO OUR AREA. SO HERE’S THE MAP FOR WEDNESDAY. CLOUDS COMING BACK IN THE AFTERNOON. BY TOMORROW NIGHT, WE’RE TO START TO GET SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION. IT COULD START AS A LITTLE BIT OF FREEZING RAIN OR MAYBE A LITTLE WINTRY MIX IN THE MOUNTAINS TOMORROW NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE, IT IS A COLD RAIN AND FOR MOST OF THURSDAY, I THINK IN AFTERNOON, WE MAKE MAKING A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK BEFORE OUR FRONT COMES IN AND FRONT STARTS TO DRIVE IN ON FRIDAY MORNING, A NARROW OF SNOW ON THE BACK EDGE OF THIS WILL LIKELY LEAVE A LITTLE COATING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND MAYBE A FEW SNOWFLAKES TRICKLE EAST THROUGH FOOTHILLS AND THE TRIAD. THE BIG NEWS AND WEATHER STORY ON WILL BE THE FALLING TEMPERATURES AS THEY WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE TWENTIES DURING THE DAY. AND AS AS MEASURABLE SNOWFALL GOES, LOOK FOR THAT TO MAINLY BE IN OUR MOUNTAINS. LET’S LOOK OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE DO HAVE DRY SKIES AND THE WEEKEND BUT WIND CHILL VALUES WILL LIKELY BE AT ZERO OR BELOW IN MOST COMMUNITIES. AND TE
