Turning colder Friday! get ready

weather map for Friday, Friday Night and Saturday.

Currently the freezing fog (pictures below) has ended and we have sun coming though. even though it was cold this morning, it will warm up quickly, Highs today will warm into to upper 20s. I still think some low 30s are possible. Friday a cold front will move though from the northwest, this will clear out the freezing fog, and the mild temps but it will also bring in much cooler weather, we will be under a northwest flow again. The good news is this cold airmass will not be as cold as the last one. Because there will be a cold front going though, There may be a slight chance for light snow all areas, but it will mainly just stay cloudy, it will also become windy. Wind chills may be a problem. Highs on friday will be warmest early, then kinda falling off, highs in the teens. Friday Night it will be cold and windy, wind chills will make it feel worse. lows will be in the teens below zero. Saturday, there will be an arctic high overhead so we will have, Arctic Sunshine the winds will die down by this time. Highs will be in the mid single digits. Saturday night will be clear to partly cloudy, with lows in the mid teens below zero, some areas will approch -20.

looking ahead Sunday looks to be the coldest day, but it will be nearly the same as Saturday, highs in the mid single digits, lows Sunday might be a bit warmer then Saturday, but will be in the teens below zero again. Monday the cold air will begin to warm up, and we may warm up back into the very low teens!

ok here is a photo of our front yard, you can see the sun in the trees, everying seemed to be very bright this morning. You can see the shade in the yard from the frost, acted almost like leaves!
