A cold front brought breezy, cooler conditions on Monday, with wind gusts over 35 mph. Colder air persists through New Year’s, driven by a strong upper-level low over the Great Lakes, keeping temperatures below normal.
Daily Forecast Breakdown
- Tuesday (Dec 30): Very cold morning with lows in upper 20s to lower 30s; wind chills in upper teens to low 20s due to 10-15 mph NW winds (higher gusts). Sunny afternoon highs in upper 40s to low 50s.
- Wednesday (Dec 31, New Year’s Eve): Coldest morning of the week—mid/upper 20s inland, low 30s coastal; calmer winds mean wind chills near actual temps. Chilly evening dropping to upper 30s by midnight; layer up for outdoor plans.

Key Impacts and Tips
Stay cautious with wind chills early this week—protect exposed skin and pets. New Year’s Eve calls for layers as temps drop fast after sunset. Warmer, wetter shift by weekend could help drought slightly, but monitor updates via WSAV or National Weather Service for coastal specifics.
