Chilly end to workweek, drastically warmer weekend follows

OTTUMWA, Iowa (KYOU) - The push of colder air has arrived, sending overnight lows back below zero tonight.

Wind chills will likely fall into the -10s as well, so make sure to bundle up and cover exposed skin when heading out and about through Friday morning. A modest warm-up will be seen by the afternoon under partly cloudy skies as highs reach the upper 10s above zero.
