Get ready for wintry changes arriving once again.  An Arctic cold front has been working through Siouxland late Wednesday and this is going to drive temperatures down to around 0° tonight with wind chills bottoming out anywhere from -10° to -30° with the coldest temps in northeastern Siouxland where they’ll be under a Wind Chill Advisory through noon Thursday.

The winds will calm down during the day on Thursday, but even though our wind chills will improve as Thursday goes along, our highs will top out only in the single digits so it’s going to be cold all the way around.

Then our focus turns to snow.  We’ll have one chance tonight with under an inch of accumulation.  Then a better chance comes our way Thursday night into Friday morning when northeastern Siouxland could see from 3 to 5 inches of snow.  That’s where a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued from Thursday night into Friday.

At this point, we could be looking at 1 to 3 inches of snow in Sioux City but the path of this snow could still change so we’ll keep an eye on it.  A little warming will occur from Saturday into Sunday, but for the next three days, a real chill will be felt by all of us.  Bundle up!
