NOW: Subzero wind chills are out and about Saturday morning, so make sure to layer and to not spend a lot of time outside to keep yourself safe from frostbite. That means your furry friends, too. Things won't be as harsh into the afternoon, but will still be bone-chilling thanks to a gusty wind.
NEW: Temperatures will slowly warm up as we head into Sunday. Subfreezing temperatures and wind chills to start our week with a few snowflakes or raindrops with milder temps in the 40s by the afternoon.
