An arctic air mass arriving Wednesday night will quickly bring temperatures below freezing.    Very strong north winds will bring wind chills into the single digits and low teens Thursday morning as temperatures fall into the lower to mid 20s.

An extended period of very cold temperatures into Saturday morning will bring the potential for freezing pipes and stress livestock and outside animals.  Highs are expected to remain below freezing Thursday and drop into the lower and mid teens Thursday night.  Temperatures will struggle to rise above freezing Friday before falling into mid teens again Saturday morning.

Widespread wintry precipitation is not expected.  However a few areas may see light freezing drizzle or snow flurries Wednesday night.  No accumulation is expected but should be monitored for updates as we get closer to the event.
