The National Weather Service has issued an advisory about extremely cold weather this week.

The advisory notes that from midnight tonight (Tuesday) to 11 a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday), locals can expect very cold wind chills around zero degrees to around five below zero. The advisory says hypothermia is possible if precautions like layering are not taken.

As noted above, scattered snow flurries are possible this afternoon with isolated snow showers tonight, though it should be mostly precipitation-free for the rest of this week until a possibility of snow (again) this upcoming Sunday and Monday.
