By Wednesday, temperatures may dip as low as 7°F, with highs struggling to reach 28°F.

According to the NWS, the cold snap will bring risks of frost and icy conditions. Residents should prepare for winter weather, including checking heating systems and taking caution on potentially slick roads.

Friday could see slight relief with highs near 38°F, but overnight lows are expected to remain below freezing. Officials recommend staying informed through updated forecasts and monitoring local weather advisories.
