The weather during the next few days won’t be changing much. The main story will be the frigid temperatures and dangerously low wind chills.

Wind chill temperatures through Monday Morning will range from 30 below to around 50 below zero.
A clipper system passes well southwest of the Northland Monday and early Tuesday with a swath of significant snow likely but again this won’t affect our area. Temperatures will modify slightly on Monday with highs in the single digits below to single digits above zero with lows Monday Night in the single digits below to around 20 below zero.

A reinforcing shot of bitterly cold air arrives Tuesday into Wednesday along with another round of gusty winds which will likely lead to more dangerous wind chill temperatures.
