While snow accumulations from Thursday night's weather system are on everyone's mind, the National Weather Service also warns of chilling temperatures in the region, possibly reaching single digits Friday.
"The bigger story may turn out to be the cold and wind, which will be in its early stages of arrival overnight Thursday, a NWS forecaster said. "Wind chill advisories will likely be needed in the highlands, but it is too early to issue this yet."
Friday will be sunny, with a high only of 27 degrees, with a blustery northwest wind 16 to 22 mph.
"Single-digit lows likely over many parts of the forecast area west of I-95. Along and east of I-95 lows will drop into the low to mid-teens," they said.
NWS warns that some of the coldest areas could see wind chills drop to near or slightly below zero.
Temperatures should return to above freezing Saturday.
