It goes with out saying we've got a "bring your pets in" weekend on tap...Low pressure wave pushes east today. Focus will switch from snowfall to bitter cold air washing over the eastern US tonight. Breezy conditions and single digit temperatures will put wind chill factor a few degrees below zero Friday night. Lake effect snow & weak low pressure will skirt the area Saturday and Sunday, producing a few light flurries. Otherwise, high pressure will maintain control over our weekend weather and any additional accumulation will be minimal.

Bitter cold air will remain in place across much of the east through the weekend. Night time temps will fall to single digits over the next few nights. Despite the increasing sunlight hours, temps will struggle to reach the low 20s even during the day.

Temperatures will gradually warm up & rise above freezing next week. Another low pressure wave will cross the Ohio Valley Monday into Tuesday. Expect snow & mixed precip Monday & Tuesday. Snow flurries will be ending by midweek.
