We'll be ushering the month of March with more cold air in central Illinois.

Chris Miller with the National Weather Service in Lincoln says to plan on things continuing to be cold into the weekend. He says it is going to be well below normal mostly after Wednesday with another windy weekend expected. 

Looking ahead to next week, Miller says it will continue to be cold and in fact, indicates things are looking to remain cold into the first few weeks of the month.

The wind this coming weekend should not be as strong as it was Sunday throughout the state. Miller notes they are still watching the system that is going to be moving through and advising anyone traveling be aware of the wind and the havoc it can cause.
