Arctic cold returns Tuesday with wind chills below zero in the morning, climbing into the single digits by afternoon. Sun will mix in with some high clouds.
A rare Deep South winter storm will get uncomfortably close to Connecticut Tuesday night into early Wednesday. But it looks like the storm will stay out to sea leaving the state dry for several days.
