Friday night will be partly cloudy to fair and much colder. Remember to be extremely careful with space heaters and any open flames. Remember to extinguish all fires before going to bed. Make sure space heaters are far away from anything flammable and cannot be tipped over.

Bone-chilling cold
Saturday will be mostly sunny with more bone-chilling cold. Afternoon temperatures will be in the upper teens. Remember to bundle up and dress in layers before going out.
While a major winter storm affects the East, a weak area of low pressure will give us extra clouds, scattered snow showers and reinforcing cold air on Sunday. We’ll stay in the icebox with high temperatures in the middle 20s.
