northwest breeze kicking in. crystal clear as a bell right now in the live neighborhood network around the board. look at the area wind speeds. we're not talking windy blustery conditions, but it is enough of breeze. notice the wind direction, mainly out of the north and northwest. that you notice it. it's a cold wind. what that means for your windchill values is that it's going to send them plummeting, so this is at best how it feels this morning. this is what i want you to use as a guage this morning. a lot of you are into, at least single digits and positive territory right now if not the teens. but when that wind blows, this is how it feels, take a look at your region and factor it in. that's how you need to be dressing here today. it's more like it's into negative territory in most spots this morning. on storm scan it's quiet. clear, as we said and it is going to stay that way, nothing but wall wall sunshine region-wide but those temperatures, that's rough stuff. low 30's at best here in the city today. meisha? >> it sure is rough stuff.
