NBC Storm Team takes the heat up a notch and forecasts it will last a little longer that the NWS forecast.
Today’s high of 46 degrees (normal high 32) should occur about 3:00 p.m. followed by a slow and continuous drop to 40 degrees at midnight Saturday/Sunday, 31 degrees at 6:00 a.m. Sunday, 28 degrees at noon Sunday, 10 degrees at 9:00 p.m. Sunday, 6 degrees at midnight, Sunday/Monday and -3 degrees by 8:00 a.m. Monday morning.
New Year’s Eve temperature forecasts have improved a little with a high of 10 degrees during the day and a low of -1 degree at midnight Tuesday/Wednesday. Wind chill at midnight on New Year’s Eve is expected to be about -11 degrees. However, we are still facing a forecast with a big temperature drop — a 49-degree drop in 40 hours (46 degrees, 3 PM Saturday to -3 degrees at 7 AM Monday).
Enjoy the mild start to the weekend; it will feel 70-80 degrees colder by Sunday morning! #sdwx #mnwx #iawx #newx pic.twitter.com/dgGZ3whQon
