Try to get any errands that require you to leave the house done this morning. Although it's cold, gusts of wind up to 30 mph may blow in between noon and 5 p.m. today.

You'll battle either the cold or the high winds, depending on whether you head out this morning or afternoon.

It was 17 degrees at 7 a.m. with the slight wind making it feel more like 11. Today's high will be around 46 between 3 and 5 p.m., but the steady wind will make it feel much colder – and the gusts will make it seem even chillier.
