Chinook warming broke high temperature records Sunday. This resulted in melting snow and ice across much of the Interior. Temperatures will hover around the freezing mark today for most of the Interior as the chinook winds wane. Temps fall below freezing Monday night and Tuesday as a cold front moves through. Temperatures them plummet well below zero in the valleys Wednesday night and Thursday night. Any water on ice will result in potentially dangerously slick conditions along roads, sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, and trails. Residents should be cautious and travel carefully.
