Layer up, the cold continues! With Wednesday's wind chills, it will be in the teens/lower 20s in the afternoon.

Winds can gust up to 30 mph. Temperatures will continue to run below normal for the rest of the work week, with the exception of Friday. That's when temperatures turn around and get back on track for January. At times there may be some clouds and a few flurries or snow showers, but the trend this week will be dry and breezy weather.

There is a risk of some rain Saturday and maybe some rain or snow showers late Sunday into Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday. Following the wet and possibly snowy weather, temperatures drop even more for next week. This really could be the coldest air of the season, so prepare now. Be sure to stay with News 12 Connecticut for the very latest on our local forecast and with any winter impacts we may see.
