Falling temperatures will be the storyline today with many locations likely seeing their high temperatures for the day early this morning. Some light wintry precipitation in the form of snow and/or freezing drizzle this morning may lead to isolated slick spots on area roads. A strong cold front will kick up north winds and usher in colder air through the day. Wind chills will struggle to climb out of the single digits and middle teens for many so be sure to bundle up. More seasonable temperatures arrive Thursday and last into early next week with generally dry conditions expected.
