A strong storm rolls through on Friday bringing heavy rain, strong winds, snow showers and the arctic cold air. In the meantime, temps will fall to around freezing overnight then climb slightly during the morning rush.
This potent low pressure hits about early to mid morning on Friday. We'll see rain around 7- 8 a.m. Then, more widespread rain moves in late morning into midday and takes over for the rest of the day.
This rain will be heavy at times with up to 1 inch of rain likely. Creeks, streams and rivers will rise a bit especially coming off Tuesday's record breaking rain.
Friday will see the potential for damaging winds. A WIND ADVISORY is out Friday 11 a.m. through Saturday at 8 a.m. Gusts will frequently shoot into the 40 mph + range with occasional gusts over 50 mph. Winds should be at their highest Friday afternoon and night tapering off into Saturday morning. With these high winds, tree limbs or more could cause isolated power outages.
Cold air moves in behind this system. Saturday's high only hits 30 and then drops to the teens at night. We could see some isolated snow chances that day but accumulation isn't expected.
Sunday we'll only make it to 21 but it will feel like the single digits for most of the day.
The arctic air really settles in next week. We'll see highs in the teens and overnight lows in the single digits. Wind chills could drop to -10° or -15° during the early mornings.
