Temperatures are expected to remain cold, dipping into the low twenties.

This system is expected to impact the Tuesday morning commute, delivering moderate snow before tapering off to flurries in the evening. Shortly after, a new weather front is projected to bring additional snowfall by Thursday. The coldest air of the season will arrive by Friday, with wind chills expected to reach the single digits.
