Bitterly cold, but quiet Thursday

Arctic air will continue to grip the area on Thursday leading to a bitterly cold day and the coldest since the middle of January.

The day will start with temperatures in the single digits below-zero and wind chills in the range of -15° to -25°. Clouds from a storm system to the south will push through the area during the morning before becoming mostly sunny into the afternoon.

Despite the sun and quiet weather with high pressure overhead, temperatures will only recover into the single digits above-zero by afternoon.

The wind will be light, but still enough to produce wind chills in the single digits below-zero throughout the day.

The sky will remain clear through Thursday night, and with high pressure overhead along with a light wind, temperatures will once again drop into the single-digits below-zero by Friday morning.
