is our float. santa claus came to town. >> was in the teens this morning? >> it was. >> coldest morning since february. more of the country is snow covered this morning than at any points so far this fall. >> wow. >> and that's why the cold air is suddenly showing up on the scene because the highest activity surface in nature is snow. when you put snow down all the sunlight, much of the energy is reflected back to space, 70% or no. so you preserve the chill and that cold air can run off that snowpack. even streamers coming out of the clouds indicating some flurries trying to fall from them but just a little moist layer. how many will make it up to the surface i don't know. but one thing i will do is block the sunlight today and keep us from getting terribly warm. this air mass is cool to begin with. and here as steve mentioned are

the temperatures. in the mid-teens. so this didn't discriminate much it was cold across the area. and it is 27 right now with a gusty wind lowering windchills at o'hare. winds sustained at 17 going up to 26 at times. it is 28 at mid-way. 27. and some other windchills and temperatures around the area. pretty evident right there. these are the wind gusts. they never help when you have temperatures like this. it is the coldest day since february around here. we may not break above 30 degrees and there are some of the average windchills around the area. flags extended. sun is out. although clouds have come in in the last couple hours and there is the air mass, or snowpack off which this cool air is spinning. here is minnesota.

look at the snow on the ground there. look at the rain that fell yesterday in down state illinois. over 4 inches came down. so it was damp here but we didn't put up with anything like that. if you look carefully on this visible satellite imagery you can see the edge of the snowpack right here. and go from that area north to the arctic circle and will is no interruption in the area that is covered by snow. so this cold air is just pouring as deeply into the united states as it has at any point this season and keeping the temperatures there in the 20s. but there's warmer weather on the way. this bulge in temperatures corresponds with where the winds are blowing from the south out through the plains and that's ahead of a storm that is moving in through the west. that will turn our winds southerly over the weekend. we will not benefit from much warming tomorrow but by sunday we could be into the mid to upper 40s and the same thing on monday from all indications. there are the winds gusting in our area and still chilly in the region. in fact action here are the windchills as calculated by our computers and we have low teens

here. that's what the air feels like. but it feels like zero or blow up north. but look at the warming going on out west because this is our future right here. 21 degrees warmer in south dakota. 27 degrees warmer at bizmark. yesterday's rain turned briefly to snow south of us. pulling out of here. here are the current temperatures showing northward bulge of warmer air coming in. not much expected in the way of precipitation for a while until monday. big storm up here. winds rotating around it. see how the isobar stays packed. winds will stay up through tomorrow. but the strong southerly winds are marching ever farther eastward. by later tomorrow they will be coming into the western midwest and will be in here tomorrow night and sunday warming us up. dew point to show you where the air is of arctic origin because that's where the dew points are. no tropical moisture up here. all the humidity is in florida. air is dry and col.

wind at 13 to 28 miles per hour today. tonight, scattered clouds and cold. breezy too. temperatures tonight will go down to the -- well, probably 12 inland. ranging to low 20s in the city. mostly sunny. breezy. chilly on saturday. high 33. and by sunday it will be warmer and windy with a high of 47 and mostly sunny skies in the picture again. but gusty south winds at 35 miles an hour at times. so you don't get these big temperature swings without a lot of wind this time of year unfortunately. cancels out a little bit of the warming but it will feel a lot better. and no holiday travel problems in the midwest for folks going home. >> good to know. >> that's wonderful. >> it is good. >> thank you. here is today's trivia question. who said peace begins with a smile? the answer still ahead on the wgn middaynews.
