CLEVELAND — Colder air will move in as we wrap up the work week, with dangerous wind chills returning on Friday and into the weekend.

Temperatures will be dropping into the single digits. Sub-zero wind chills are likely by early Friday morning. A cold weather advisory is in effect from Friday morning through Saturday morning, with wind chills as low as -15 to -24 possible.

Air temperatures will then be BELOW zero on Saturday morning, with sub-zero wind chills again. Temperatures will only "warm" into the single digits again Saturday afternoon. If we stay in the single digits on Saturday, then that'll be the coldest day since 2019!

All of that before our first BIG snow storm of the year. Possibly into Ohio by late Saturday into Sunday. That could mean big-time snow accumulations. Still way too early for specifics and exact timing, though. So you'll need to stay connected!

Temperatures will remain well below freezing for days and days to round out January and into the start of February.

Stay Warm and Safe, Northeast Ohio!
