A cold Canadian High is sitting right over the area this evening:

That high pressure center brings with it the core of the coldest air! Besides that, the high is providing clear skies and light winds... so tonight temeratures should once again dip to near zero tonight! Some places might even go below zero... if that is the case... the record low of -3 would be in jepordy. We'll see how far we go. If we get some clouds moving in towards dawn... we might not drop that far.

For Sunday, that high will slip to our EAST... allowing southeast winds to develop:

But the winds will be light... so while there wll be a little warm up... it won't be much. Highs on Sunday should still be in the lower to middle 20s. We'll also notice more clouds as the day goes on.

And as we go through the next few days... a slow warm-up will continue! We could be in the 50s by the middle part of the week! For you snow-lovers... the window of opportunity is getting smaller.... and smaller.... and smaller....
