It was another chilly day out there, with wind chills by mid-afternoon in the mid-to-upper 30s (1 to 4 degrees Celsius) in most areas. But hang in there -- we’ll return to more typical early November temperatures this weekend!
But first, it’ll be another cold night. Skies will eventually become partly cloudy, but a few drips or flakes cannot be ruled out.
