According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s high will only reach 26°F, with gusty northwest winds up to 29 mph making it feel much colder. Light snow is expected throughout the day, reducing visibility for drivers. By Friday night, temperatures will plummet to 15°F under partly cloudy skies, increasing the risk of black ice on roads.
