Wednesday will be a relatively mild day, as a ridge of high pressure builds over the region. This will push temperatures into the upper 40s today and mid to upper 50s by Thursday. Get outside and enjoy the mild, dry weather! Snow will develop in the high country on Friday and then across the plains by Friday night. We're also going to see a big blast of Arctic air for the weekend. Temperatures will drop into the teens for highs on Saturday and then the cold will intensify on Sunday. Some models are predicting temperatures that could be 30 to 40 degrees below normal, leading to dangerously cold conditions across the region. So far, it looks like this Arctic blast will stick around into early next week. Don't forget to protect your people, pets and pipes during this prolonged deep freeze event!
