Temps take arctic plunge again next week

While the chances of any measurable precipitation is pretty slim, by this time next week temps are going back down in the miserable range.

Around Tuesday, overnight lows will be back in the teens with wind chills...near zero.

Good news? There will be a slight warming trend in the week to follow. Hang in there!
