Dangerous Cold through Monday Afternoon



The Wind Chill Advisory has been extended through Noon Monday in anticipation of wind chill readings remaining between -25 degrees and -30 degrees through Monday morning.

Already wind chill values have fallen close to -30 degrees Sunday night as temperatures continue to drop below zero.  It's important to remember that if you have to go outside while it's this cold, to cover any and all exposed skin.  Frostbite can occur within 30 minutes if you're not dressed properly.  And spending any prolonged period of time outside could also lead to hypothermia.

The coldest wind chill values will occur Sunday night through about 10am Monday morning.  As the temperature gradually warms above zero degrees Monday afternoon, wind chills will rise to the teens below zero.  Still cold, but not as cold as what they started out with.

Unfortunately it looks like our wind chill values will remain below zero through Tuesday morning.
