JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — A blast of frigid air has officially arrived and is here to stay through the middle of the week. This will be the coldest stretch of weather that we have seen so far this winter season. Highs will remain steady in the single digits and teens through Wednesday, with sub-zero overnight lows, but the wind will make it feel even colder. A Cold Weather Advisory (this is the new name for a Wind Chill Advisory) is in place for the entire area through Wednesday.
