| Dangerously cold wind chills are expected this weekend into early this week due to an Arctic front that pushed off the coast and ushered in the coldest temperatures of the season so far. With an Extreme Cold Warning in effect from Saturday evening through early next week, wind chills are forecast to drop into single digits below zero to 10 above zero. Remember to protect people, pets, plants, and pipes from the extreme cold.
