A cold front moving through the High Plains Thursday night will usher in some very cold temperatures to the region by Friday morning.  This will be the second cold front to move out of Southern Canada on Thursday.  One front will push through early Thursday and the next cold front will move through Thursday night.  It's the second cold front that will bring the colder temperatures to the forecast.  Freeze alerts will likely be issued for these areas as temperatures will likely be below freezing for several hours.
