Late Evening Update
The northern part of the squall line (which is now in Ohio) has weakened but still is producing isolated severe winds (58MPH) as there are severe thunderstorm warnings with it. The rest of the line is still pretty much intact but slowly weakening, although for the next couple hours it will remain severe. The severe thunderstorm watch has been extended until 1AM, which I think is a good move because the line is waining but any thunderstorm can mix down the 60+knot winds at 2000+ feet aloft. Also, I updated to lower my morning temperatures and wind chills tomorrow morning. Western Half: Low temps of 5-10. Wind chills of -15 to -6. Eastern Half: Low temps of 8-18. Wind chills of -12 to 0. I know earlier I was a few degrees higher with my lows, but the front has picked up a bit of steam and the colder air behind it is a little colder than I thought. Hopefully the NWS puts up wind chill advisories because these types of wind chills can be dangerous in as little as 15 minutes to exposed skin. Forecast Details: Tonight: Thunderstorms early, possibly severe, quickly changing to snow, accumulating 1-2" mainly north. Any snow will blow and drift due to wind gusts as high as 55MPH after the front comes through, and as high as 65MPH in any thunderstorms. Power outages and minor wind damage possible. Low 5-18. Wind chills as cold as -15 mainly west. Wednesday: Flurries ending in the Snow Belt. Still windy especially early. Wind chills as cold as -18 early mainly west. Becoming partly sunny in the afternoon. High 14-22. Wednesday Night: Mainly clear. Very cold. Low -2 to 8. Thursday: Increasing clouds but staying dry. A little milder. High 27-34.
