Region Wakes to Frigid Cold, Snow Chances

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The region awoke to one of the coldest mornings in years, with temperatures in the low to mid teens and wind chill factors making feel like zero degrees outside.

By 10 a.m. temperatures had climbed to the low 20s, and they are not expected to rise much higher than that. Tonight, a clipper system could bring a dusting of snow our way, according to the National Weather Service. With arctic air overhead, whatever falls is expected to freeze and could cause slippery conditions into Thursday morning.

There’s also a small chance for snow Friday night into Saturday morning as temperatures are expected to remain frigid.

 Warmer air is forecast to creep back into the region by Monday when a high temperature of 41 degrees is expected. Look for temperatures in the low 50s by Tuesday, according to the weather service.
