(WCTV) &#8211; An arctic front will bring dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills to the region this weekend. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tonight Through Saturday Night \ud83e\udd76<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A stray sprinkle is possible for Friday night, but most of us are drying out and cooling down. Low temperatures fall into the mid-30s by Saturday morning under a partly to mostly cloudy sky. The wind will also pick up. We could see winds gust to 10-15 mph. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Saturday will be raw and windy. For most of us, we are dry under a partly sunny sky. However, we may see a few snow flurries, mainly in our eastern counties near I-75. We are not expecting accumulation or impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The bigger story will be the cold. Temperatures for Saturday afternoon struggle to make it into the upper-30s. The wind will likely gust to 35-40 mph at times. When you factor in the gusty wind, we could see wind chills in the upper-20s during the afternoon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">We are tracking dry, clear and frigid weather for Saturday night. Be sure to protect your people, pets, plants and pipes. Low temperatures plunge into the upper-teens and low-20s. However, the wind will continue to gust up to 15-20 mph at times. This will set the stage for wind chills to dip into the low-teens and upper single digits, so be sure to bundle up. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Because of dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills, the WCTV First Alert Weather team has declared a First Alert Weather Day for Saturday night and Sunday morning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Starting The New Week \u2600\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">High pressure will take over as we end the weekend, so we are tracking dry weather under some sunshine. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Highs on Sunday hover in the upper-30s and low-40s. Again, the wind will be breezy but not as strong as Saturday. For Sunday night, temperatures look to plummet into the upper-teens and low-20s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Monday is looking dry and sunny. Temperatures rebound into the mid-50s, with lows in the upper-20s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Extended Forecast \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">We are looking ahead to another rain chance for the middle of next week. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tuesday is looking dry and mostly sunny. Temperatures climb into the low-60s, with lows in the upper-30s to low-40s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Another weather system looks to be on the way for Wednesday. As a result, scattered showers are possible under a partly sunny sky. Highs top out in the mid-60s, and lows fall into the low-40s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Behind this front, we are turning cooler for Thursday. Temperatures only reach the mid-50s under a mix of Sun and clouds. Overnight lows settle in the upper-20s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To stay updated on all the latest forecasts and weather, follow WCTV First Alert Weather on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\"> (<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTVFirstAlert\" target=\"_blank\">)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see all the latest weather headlines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/weather\/radar\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to view the First Alert Radar.
