Very strong winds arrive Thursday night into Friday morning, gusting at up to 40 mph, creating blowing snow and significantly reducing visibility for the Friday morning rush.
Temperatures will fall to the low teens by Friday morning, and by Saturday morning will be in the single digits.
That arctic blast will hold in place through most of next week, with highs only around 10° on Saturday, and in the single digits on Sunday and Monday. Lows at night will plunge below zero, with wind chills as low as 20 to 30 below.
