Today’s Forecast:
Clear skies and the edge of an arctic airmass was the perfect recipe for dangerously cold temperatures Tuesday morning.
Sunshine will return today with the jetstream slowly pushing east. Arctic air will slowly follow the jet steam across the upper midwest, but not until the afternoon.
It won't really be warm outside, but temperatures in the plains should do a better job of warming to 20 degrees.
Current Morning Temperatures:
Overnight, it'll still be very cold with single digits across the plains.

Extended outlook forecast:
A ridge of high pressure will bring better warmth to the region with 40s across the plains on Wednesday and Thursday.
The warmest air of the week arrives on Friday with widespread 50s in the plains and 40s across the mountains. We should stay pretty warm through the weekend with highs generally in the 40s and 50s.
