Bitterly cold wind chills this morning and remaining cold through the weekend, but temperatures will be on the increase early next week. By Tuesday, temperatures area wide will be above freezing, values not seen since around January 22nd, give or take a day.
REMINDER: Due to the extreme cold temperatures today, Wood County Emergency Management Agency will be cancelling this morning's 10 a.m. siren test.
A band of snow squalls is becoming more likely with an arctic cold front this evening. These will produce a short period of very low visibility in falling and blowing snow and a rapid accumulation of snow on roads. Scattered lake effect snow showers will then continue into tonight.
BY THE AUTHORITY OF WOOD COUNTY SHERIFF, MARK WASYLYSHYN, WOOD COUNTY HAS BEEN PLACED UNDER A LEVEL ONE SNOW ALERT
We have a little reprieve in the temps coming next week...but winter is not done with us yet! Snow today followed by plummeting temps tonight behind an Arctic cold front and bitterly cold wind chills by Saturday morning. Snow squalls possible with the front!
