The forecast for both Wednesday and Thursday appears to be the same with a high in the mid 30s and a low in the lower 20s.  There will be a persistent northwest wind bringing in this cold air.  

I am watching a possible blizzard outbreak Thursday night into Friday.  The models are not picking up on it, but the pattern is similar to that of the blizzard of 1996 which brought over 20 inches of snow.  While that does not look likely now, it is certainly a possibility and I will continue to monitor.
