The coldest air of the season so far is moving in for the middle of this week around Connecticut, in the wake of Tuesday's snowstorm. A new storm will move in this weekend.
Temperatures will dip well down into the teens in most areas at night through Thursday. In some of the coldest locations temperatures could reach the single digits.
A breeze will add to the cold, producing RealFeel® temperatures near zero at times.
A storm will develop over the Deep South Friday and will head northeastward Saturday.

While warmer air and rain will move up with that storm, odds favor at least a period of snow, or icy mix at the onset, Saturday with the potential for slippery roads for at time.
The wintry precipitation is likely to occur during the Army-Navy Classic Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Enough snow and rain can fall to not only impact the game at Philadelphia, but also disrupt travel throughout the Northeast region.
If the storm were to track farther south than currently expected, heavy snow and ice would linger longer into the storm around Connecticut with the potential for a significant accumulation.
More details will follow as the week progresses on AccuWeather.com.
