DISCUSSION

Issued at 113 AM CST Sat Jan 24 2026

Today and Tonight

A 1036 mb high pressure area will provide light winds and well below-normal temperatures. High temperatures will be in the single digits above and below zero. Low temperatures will range from 0 to 20 below. Due to clouds from the low pressure system moving to our south and southeast, northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin will see the warmest low temperatures tonight. With light winds, wind chills will be very close to the air temperatures. Cold weather headlines will not be needed for this time period.

Sunday night

A low pressure system will move northeast through the Mid Atlantic and into the Atlantic. Meanwhile, a 1040 mb Arctic high will move south into the Dakotas. As this occurs, the surface pressure gradient will increase across the region. As northwest winds climb into the 10 to 15 mph range and temperatures range from 10 to 20 below, there is anywhere from an 80 to 100 percent chance that wind chills will be -25F or colder as a result another Cold Weather Advisory will likely be needed.

Next Week

Northwest flow will continue to bring well below-normal temperatures to the area. From Monday through Friday, high temperatures will be in the single digits and teens and low temperatures will be in the single digits above and below zero. With generally light winds, not anticipating any Cold Weather headlines at this time. Much of the week currently looks dry, but there could be some light snow on Wednesday and maybe Saturday.
