BITTERLY COLD START TO THE WEEK:
Super Bowl Sunday will be bitterly cold with highs in the upper teens. The wind won't be nearly as bad as yesterday but expect wind chills much of the day to be 5 to 10 below. Aside from the cold, the weather will be quiet for travel to and from any parties.
Another cold night is on tap with lows in the single digits and wind chills of 5 below.
TEMPERATURES MODERATE:
The brutal cold will relax much of this week as temperatures warm above freezing. The weather is looking dry much of the time outside of a small chance for light mixed precipitation around Wednesday.
Another storm system may impact the region for Valentine's Day weekend. Mixed precipitation will once again be on the table.
