110 AM EST Thu Jan 23 2025 SYNOPSIS... It won`t be nearly as cold the next few days...as the glacial like airmass of the past few days has lifted back to our north. In fact...it may feel downright `mild` later this weekend into early next week...as the mercury in many areas will climb back towards normal levels. Unfortunately...there will still be bouts of wintry weather...especially east of the lakes where there will be periods of accumulating snow. Area Forecast Discussion
