January has started with active weather. It seems like we've seen one storm after the next lately, and this most recent one is dumping frigid air in behind it.

What You Need To Know

  • Extreme cold moves into the region for the weekend with dangerous wind chills

  • Frostbite will be a concern

  • Sunday's snow chances have diminished with storm tracking farther south

Arctic invasion

Temperatures Friday night dropped into the teens, but by Saturday night into Sunday morning, lows will be below zero.

And these are just the actual temperatures, not what it will feel like. Wind chills will drop as low as -15 to -20 degrees, making it dangerous to be outside exposed for even a short time. It won’t take long for frostbite to occur. Learn the signs here.

The cold sticks around through early next week, with temperatures rising to near freezing by Wednesday. Here are some tips to prepare your house for the extreme cold.

Sunday's snow chances

Cold air will be in place as another storm system heads our way from Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. As previously mentioned, the path the disturbance takes determines how much snow our region will see.

Recent model data has a weaker storm tracking to our south. While a few snowflakes aren't out of the question Sunday evening, it doesn't look to be a big snowmaker in the metro.
