Arctic Air on the way this weekend

Here it comes the coldest air of the season so far this winter. The highs for Saturday will occur at midnight tonight and they will fall all day long tomorrow. The worst part is we could see windhcills 10°-15° colder than the actual air temperatures. Winds will be gusting 20-40 mph at times tomorrow. This will cause near blizzard conditions at times in the North Carolina mountains.

Here is where the arctic air and front is right now.
