We're seeing a lot of talk about next week's weather. There is still a lot of uncertainty on exact details this far out, and much remains "in the air".

What we do know is that there is an increasing likelihood of much colder, below-normal temperatures over much of next week with the passage of a strong cold front. What we do not know is just how cold it will get or whether or not there will be any precipitation.

What should you do? Keep an eye on the forecast this week. We'll share more details as they become available.
