Good Evening Stateline! We got some record cold on the way. But first, we start off the night with a wind chill advisory that will go into effect at 4 AM tomorrow morning. Ahead of the record cold air, wind chills will be in the range of -20° to -30°. This advisory will stay into effect until 6 PM tomorrow evening.
Immediately following that, a wind chill warning will go into effect beginning at 6 PM tomorrow evening and last until noon on Thursday. Wind chills during this time period will be in the -40° to -50° range with some pushing -55°. We will feel the worst of the wind chills Wednesday morning when wind chills will approach -50° by 6 AM.
Here is the first warn rundown on the record breaking cold heading our way. Morning low's on Wednesday and Thursday will be in the -20's. The forecast is calling for temperatures to approach or even break Rockford's all-time record low of -27° that was set back on January 10th, 1982. We will most likely also see the record low's for Wednesday & Thursday broken.
A few things to think about the next few days. Stay indoors as much as possible. Limit your time outside. If having to go outside, dress up in multiple layers because frostbite symptoms can occur within 50 to 10 minutes of being outside in these extremely dangerous conditions. STAY WARM EVERYONE!
