(KFVS) – Today is shaping up to be the coldest day of the season!

Gusty north winds and cold air temperatures will cause wind chills in the teens and twenties for much of the day, despite full sun.

Actual maximum temperatures will range from around 28 degrees in Mount Vernon to 35 degrees around Doniphan and Kennett.

Winds will stabilize this evening and Friday morning, but it will be cold and freezing with lows reaching around 20 degrees.

Friday will be sunny but less cold and windy.

The trend over the weekend and next week will be more moderate and closer to or slightly above average for this time of year.

Highs will be in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees Saturday and the low 50s Sunday.

A few passing weather systems appear to bring clouds and some rain.

The models are struggling with the timing, but it looks like a chance of rain is coming late Sunday night and another on Monday or Tuesday night of next week.
