Starting tomorrow an artic cold front will sweep across the region bringing with it elevated risk for severe weather starting late Sunday morning and through late afternoon.

Behind the front will be extremely cold weather.

Freeze warnings will likely be issued and the potential for a hard freeze is high.

Please use the remainder of the day to winterize outdoor plumbing and protect your pets and plants.

There is a small chance we will also see wintery precipitation Wednesday and Thursday. As we get closer to those days and the forecast becomes more clear we will update.

For now make final preparations for winter cold and stay weather aware for Sunday’s chance of severe weather.
