• It was brutally cold this morning, and unfortunately, I won’t be warming up that much at all today.
• A wind chill advisory has been put in place for the high country until noon due to wind chill values that will be well below zero in some spots.
• The sunshine will only barely warm us up to 40 degrees this afternoon.
• It will remain quite cold tonight, with temperatures in the teens and low 20s.
• However, we are expected to warm back up a touch, with highs returning to the mid to upper 40s on Thursday and Friday.

• A weak disturbance will usher in some light rain early Friday morning, and while some sleet may mix in at times, nothing will accumulate to bring in any travel concerns.
• This weekend, the biggest concern will be even colder weather, with highs barely reaching freezing in Charlotte on Saturday.
• This won’t be as cold as what we experienced in December 2022, but it will still be very cold.
• A big warming trend is expected to move next week, with possible temperatures in the 60s.
