AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT ITSELF WILL PRODUCE ONLY A FEW FLURRIES OVER MAINLY THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST PARTS OF THE STATE BUT WILL INTRODUCE THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON TO DATE. THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY BE SEEN EARLY IN THE DAY ACROSS THE NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS WITH THE MERCURY DROPPING AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE SOUTH MAY REACH THE MID TO UPPER 30S BEFORE THE COLD AIR ARRIVES WITH TEMPERATURES LIKELY FALLING BELOW FREEZING BY SUNSET. BREEZY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED AND A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR WEDNESDAY. THE ARCTIC AIR WILL SETTLE OVER THE STATE BY THURSDAY MORNING WITH THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS WINTER. EXPECT MORNING LOWS TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTH...TO THE TEENS ELSEWHERE. THESE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH THE RAPIDLY FALLING TEMPERATURES AND RESULT IN LOW WIND CHILL VALUES AS WELL. WIND CHILL VALUES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL DIP TO AROUND ZERO ACROSS THE NORTH. WIND CHILLS FURTHER SOUTH WILL STILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COLD...BUT REMAIN ABOVE ZERO DURING THE PERIOD. EVEN SO...WIND CHILLS OF SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS WILL BE LIKELY DURING THIS SAME PERIOD. THE COLDEST WIND CHILLS WILL LIKELY OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY AND A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS THE NORTH AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO REBOUND THURSDAY AS THE ARCTIC HIGH MOVES EAST BUT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN WELL BELOW NORMAL.
