Even though the gusty winds will ease a bit during the evening and overnight, wind chills are expected to be near zero in many places. A few clouds are expected overnight and even a few flurries are possible.
By early Monday morning, temperatures will be in the single digits to lower teens and wind chills in some cases a little below zero, mainly north of the metro area.
