Beautiful afternoon after the showers went through columbia, pointed the camera out to the west, look at what we got. Very, very pretty out there as the skies began to clear and theyre continuing to do that as we speak. In terms of the high today, we got all the way to 62, but it is going to be a long time before we see 62 again. Ill tell you that for sure. Well get to the specifics on that forecast in just a second. First of all, i want to show you, heres the radar. The lions share of the rain is now east of 95 and its going to continue to head off to the coast. Ill get you in close here and show you that, you know, the action, here is 95. Its all pushing off to the east. Theres a little bit, a little bit of action back here just west of columbia. This thing is just about to give up the fight. Not much left there. In terms of whats going on tonight, behind that front, behind that batch of rain, its going to turn windy. Not only will it be windy thats going to set us up for a very cold week. As i mentioned, this winter weve only seen six days, six where weve been at 40 degrees or in the 40s. This week we could get another six or five or six. Its going to be very cold as we work our way ahead. Whats going on behind this Little Pocket of rain . Notice theres a lot of snow in and around chicago. This is all going to fizzle out before it gets here. I want to underscore the idea that the air is pretty cold and were on the southern edge of that and were going to get you our share of that as we go on through the week. Its a big pocket of arctic air thats focused, originated well up into the middle of canada and its going to spill down over the eastern side of the United States and there will be waves of it as we go through the next six or seven days here. Well feel kind of chilly the next several days. 20s in the night and 40s in the day where were headed in the not foreseeable future. Not many of them as we go forward. Again, it will be windy. Tomorrow, especially middle part of the day, well see gusts 25, maybe even better than that out on the lake. It will be a blustery day. When you talk about temperatures in the 40s and winds pushing 25 or 30, its going to feel like its in the 30s when you factor in the winds. The windchill tomorrow will be cold. Check out this week, again, maybe a couple of days we get to the range of 50 friday and again on monday. Thats a cold pocket of air for a long time to come. The coldest nights right now look like theyll be wednesday night into thursday morning and then again saturday night into you sunday morning.
