Weather Update: Monday, December 29 —

A strong arctic cold front plowed through the region last night bringing with it strong gradient wind gusts 35-45 mph and a significant temperature drop more than 20 degrees over the course of the evening. the 24 hour temperature difference of course is much more wild 38 to 40°F Colder than Sunday morning.

Today:
Arctic air will continue spilling into the Midsouth via surface arctic high pressure located in the Northern Plains/Dakotas. Skies will remain clear with plenty of sunshine. The pressure gradient between the arctic high and departing cold front will keep winds blustery throughout the day 10-15 mph ( 20-25 mph gusts). That will keep the wind chills in the 20s all day, even with air temperature topping around 34°F today.
