Plain-English forecast (morning → afternoon → evening)
This morning stays mostly sunny and cold, with calm wind doing you zero favors on the “why is my face numb?” scale. Late morning into early afternoon (roughly 11am to 2pm) could bring a few flurries—nothing major mentioned, but enough to make the air sparkle if the sun hits it right. By afternoon, a light north-northwest breeze kicks in, and the cold stays in charge. Tonight turns partly cloudy and drops hard to around -15°F, with wind chills pushing even lower.
Quick “what to wear / what to plan”
Cover skin: hat + gloves/mittens + scarf/neck gaiter (wind chills are the headline).
Keep outdoor errands short (today is not the day to “just pop out for a minute”).
If you’re out early Monday, note the Cold Weather Advisory window.
