Temperature is in white; dew points are in black; wind chill temperatures are in red.

Diminishing snowfall doesn’t equal relief just yet: Old Man Winter is early, and is about to slap the area in the face once more. With cold air already in place (due to cold air advection Thursday evening after a frontal passage), much of the area still blanketed in at least an inch of snow, and high pressure parking itself over the Tri-Cities, expect things to chill way down tonight. We may even break a few records! Tri-Cities Regional Airport’s record low for tomorrow is 12°F (set back in 2000), so I doubt that will fall; today’s is 17°F, which, though unlikely, could, in theory, be reached by midnight. Asheville’s records (today/tomorrow, respectively) are 18°F and 17°F. 17°F is a very reachable mark, and the temperature may dip just below it tomorrow morning.

What to expect area-wide: middle to upper teens across the Tri-Cities, Asheville area, and lower elevations of Southwest Virginia; lower to middle teens across the higher elevations; and even upper single-digits across the highest terrain.
