Typical January chill about to get a lot colder

HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - While the day is starting off fairly sunny, upper level clouds will roll in from the west and low level clouds will roll in from the northwest. Much of the area will see increasing clouds through the morning. Meanwhile, early fog isn’t terribly widespread and shouldn’t be a major issue today. By later today, many locations will be mostly cloudy. Highs today will reach the low to mid 30s. Overnight will remain mostly cloudy. There is potential for some fog, but it’s not a certainty. Lows won’t be as cold tonight in the 10s and lower 20s. Tomorrow will be a mostly cloudy day and will be a touch cooler in the upper 20s and low to mid 30s. Tuesday night, precipitation will likely remain just to our southeast. Look for partly cloudy skies with lows in the upper 10s and lower 20s. Wednesday will be partly to mostly cloudy with stronger northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with some gusts to 30 mph. It’ll again be chilly with highs in the mid to upper 20s and lower 30s.

Later in the week, some slight chances for snow will return. Temperatures may come up a little bit on Friday just ahead of a shot of arctic air. Winds will also become breezy again on Friday. They will continue to be breezy over the weekend as the colder air dives southward. Saturday is the beginning of the colder air as a front dives through. There will be a chance of snow will that front that may potentially continue into Sunday. While Saturday will be colder, Sunday will be much colder with highs in the 0s and 10s. That cold air will stick around through at least the middle of next week.
