Sub-zero wind chills this morning. More sunshine in the forecast today, but breezy and cool with highs in the upper 20s to 30F. As a high pressure moves east, southerly winds return helping warm each day a few more degrees. Seasonable temps around Thanksgiving, but a system could bring rain late Thursday and a wintry mix into Friday. Dry weather looks favorable heading into next weekend if you're traveling.
