Temperatures will dive into the single digits overnight, which will make wet spots on roadways slippery for the morning commute, Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Carrieann Marit said.
Late tonight, temperatures were falling quickly across the northern counties in the region where clouds first started to break apart.
Overnight, it will stay breezy as clouds continue to break, with temps fall near zero, with outlying areas falling below zero. Wind chill values will fall at times to 10 to 25 below zero.
A wind chill advisory goes into effect at midnight and last until 11 a.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Monday: Skies will clear with a northerly breeze.
“The snowpack will allow our temperatures to fall slightly below zero to start the week,” Marit said. “We will see a mix of sun and clouds but highs will only reach about 10 degrees.”
Tuesday: The morning starts below zero but a more southerly flow of air will help temperatures rebound to highs in the mid-20s.
A fast moving cold front will push through late with windy conditions. A light snow is possible late Tuesday and into the early morning hours of Wednesday.
“Only a small accumulation is expected, but it will be enough to make a few slick spots for Wednesday morning’s commute,” Marit said.
Wednesday: Conditions will be breezy and cold with a lingering snow shower possible early. High temps will reach the 20s.
Thursday: Another frigid start with lows around zero. High pressure will give us mostly sunny skies, but highs will only reach the mid-teens.
Friday: the morning will start Dangerously cold with temperatures below zero. The afternoon will show more sun than clouds as highs reach the mid-teens.
