Mike Kurz is a Meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Gaylord.
He said a strong cold front is expected move through the area Thursday night.
"That's going to usher in a pretty quick switch back to the colder temperatures," Kurz said.
He also said January is predicted to be warmer than normal but winter is expected to round out with near normal, cold temperatures.
"Looking into February and March, we'll probably finish a little cooler than normal," Kurz said. "For the remainder of the winter."
