What a switch for the area...temperatures 20 degrees colder than usual during the day and snow flurries possible by daybreak. Overnight lows will be winter-like, so think about the common sense things to do( in the graphic below) as lows drop below freezing in some communities.

Specifically, some moisture still is funneling down off the Great Lakes and it's possible that we could see isolated flurries and even the chance for a snow shower before daybreak. A Freeze Warning is out for all of the Tri-State and lasts through Tuesday at 10 a.m. Temperatures tonight are expected to fall into the upper 20s and low 30s, but clouds and winds could hold the temps up. Where skies are more clear, it's more likely we make the 20s. However, thicker clouds act as a blanket keeping us above freezing.

Tuesday brings another chance at a few flurries or sprinkles but much of that should stay to our north and northeast. Tuesday will be into the mid 40s on Tuesday with that wind continuing to make things feel more chilly. Wind chills in the morning will be in the low 20s, the afternoon should be in the upper 30s and low 40s.

The cold will stick around for Wednesday as well. So, it's another morning with freezing temperatures and a better chance at some frost. Morning lows will be between 28 to 33 degrees to start. Wind from the west will stay breezy meaning another day to battle wind chills. The high temperatures will likely settle around the low 50s in most areas.

By the end of the week, we will climb out of this chill. Right now, the weekend looks like a great one with sunshine and warmer weather.
