Mild today, frigid tonight

DECATUR, IL. (WAND) - Happy Wednesday! Our mildest day this week and coldest night of the season arrives today.

A cold front rolls in today with more clouds by the midday and a few, isolated, light snow showers this afternoon. These snowflakes will be low-impact and short-lived with little to no accumulation not expected. However, the front will bring major impacts on our temperatures starting tonight.

While we get to the low 30s during the day, temperatures dive into the single digits tonight behind the front. When you add in the wind picking up today and tonight, we can expect wind chill values in the 20s today and negatives and near 0 overnight.
