Today (Monday): After a possible morning snow shower, we have lots of sun, but you’ll want to bundle up with winter jackets, hats and gloves again. Or just cozy up to someone you love to stay warm — it’s Valentine’s Day, after all. Highs reach the low to mid-30s, but it feels like the 20s much of the day as winds from the northwest around 10 mph gust up to 20 mph at times. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Winds settle down. It’s calm and clear but a very cold night. Lows range from the teens in our colder suburbs to the low to mid-20s downtown. Confidence: High
