Wednesday morning marked our coldest start to a day in nearly 3 weeks - morning low temperatures dove into the single digits for much of the Tri-State and our northerly winds routinely drove wind chill values well below zero throughout the Lower Ohio Valley. If there was any silver lining, our clear skies did allow temperatures to climb back into the mid 20s later in the day; though Evansville’s peak temperature of 25° remained 17° below average for this time of the year. The clear skies are expected to linger throughout the evening and much of the night ahead and will allow temperatures to fall back down into the mid to low teens early Thursday morning. We will fall to 14° in Evansville around daybreak Thursday.

We are however, already watching another inbound cold front that is not only expected to usher in another round of cold air, but also generate the possibility of isolated snow chances for Thursday morning and afternoon. Despite the snow chances lingering much of the day ahead, most, if not all, of the Tri-State will receive a 10th of an inch or less between Thursday morning and that evening. After peaking at 38° on Thursday afternoon, the passing cold front will drive temperatures back down to the mid to low 20s early Friday morning - a strong northerly wind and a good amount of cloud cover will only allow temperatures to reach the upper 20s and low 30s on Friday afternoon before we see the mercury fall back down to the mid to upper teens early Saturday morning.
