DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1) A significant/prolonged arctic outbreak will continue through this weekend, with periods of dangerous extreme cold. Outdoor exposure should be limited.
Gusty winds will continue through the afternoon as a front crosses the region. Winds will quickly subside during the evening and skies will become mainly clear. This should result in air temperatures getting colder than last night. Even with less wind, apparent temperatures will be very low again, to the extent that northern counties have been upgraded from advisory to warning.
There may be a very modest upward trend in temperatures after tonight, although additional advisories may still be needed for the night time periods.
An elongated east-west mid level trough will pivot across the region Friday night which will usher in another reinforcement of Arctic air. Some temperatures records will be in jeopardy Friday night, Saturday, and Saturday night. And apparent temperatures may fall back into warning territory.
AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Broken to scattered MVFR ceilings moving across the region to start the period will lift to VFR before clearing towards 03Z. Gusty west winds will diminish towards 00Z and then drop below 10 kt and back to the southwest. Winds will increase slightly on Wednesday and some MVFR ceilings may redevelop at the end of the period.
OUTLOOK...MVFR ceilings possible Wednesday afternoon.
