Cold air is firmly in place to start the period, with clear skies allowing temperatures to drop into the single digits and low teens early on. Gusty northwest winds will make it feel even colder, with wind chills dipping below zero at times before conditions gradually improve.

Sunshine dominates the start of the week, helping temperatures recover slowly but steadily. Despite the bright skies, cold air remains locked in, keeping highs mainly in the upper 20s to low 30s through Monday. Winds ease compared to the weekend, but it will still feel brisk outdoors.

By midweek, clouds increase at times and temperatures begin a gradual climb. Highs push into the mid to upper 30s, with a few low 40s possible by the end of the week. While it stays seasonably cool, the overall trend points toward a quieter and slightly milder stretch heading into next weekend.
