Bitter Cold Start to the Week

You'll need to layer up over the next several days, with a Wind Chill Advisory in place for most of the Stateline area through noon Tuesday. Though I wouldn't be surprised for another advisory to be issued for tonight or tomorrow morning.  Morning temperatures for both Tuesday and Wednesday will be near -3° to -6°, and wind chills will drop to -20°. Abundant sunshine the next couple of days won't do much to help high temperatures. Both Tuesday and Wednesday will notice highs only making it into the single digits. And with a westerly breeze today, wind chills will be stuck near -10° in the afternoon. Wednesday will also have chills below zero through out the afternoon, though winds will be lighter with high pressure arriving.

When it gets this cold, frost bite can begin in 20 to 40 minutes. You'll want to make sure you don't have any exposed skin. You'll want to dress in layers to help insulate your body heat, and limit your time outside.


The arctic air mass continues through this week and into the start of the new year. There will also be scattered chances for snow through the weekend.
