A word from SaltWire Network chief meteorologist Cindy Day:

“Another wardrobe change … coming right up! The mild air that accompanies this messy weather system is not going to linger. A strong west, then eventually northwest wind will bring a blast of bitterly cold air to the region tonight and tomorrow. On the plus side, the cold weather will be accompanied by quite a bit of sunshine as we make our way to the weekend. By Saturday, afternoon temperatures will be seasonal, with above freezing temperatures in store for Sunday and Monday.”
