An "extended stretch" of bitterly cold temperatures is expected Monday through Wednesday next week, according to a hazardous weather outlook.

Accumulating snow will impact the evening commute. Most should receive about 2-4 inches but isolated higher amounts are possible east.

The area is in for a bit of a warming trend over the next few days starting on Thursday. The National Weather Service’s forecast for tomorrow calls for highs in the low 30s with light breezes. An Alberta Clipper is expected to move through the area bringing another round of light snow that will total 1-3 inches in most places by the end of the day Thursday.
