by John Donnelly, meteorologist Saturday 2/25/23: A persistently cold day expected, with temperatures ranging from early morning lows in the teens to afternoon highs in the low 20’s. Thankfully the wind will be light, so wind chill won’t be a killer. An impulse of low pressure swings through to our south, stirring up the chance for flurries and light snow during the afternoon leading to a light dusting.
