When venturing outside, watch your first few steps taken on steps, sidewalks, and driveways, which could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. After the snow exits on Saturday, breezy winds will dominate and filter in dry, frigid, Arctic air. Winds will gust up to 40mph across the area.

Temperatures will struggle to reach the upper 20s, while wind chills spend most of the day in single digits! Saturday evening will be bitterly cold as well and by Sunday morning some folks will wake up to subzero wind chills!
