Dangerous wind chills possible early Thursday morning

 


A WIND CHILL ADVISORY has been issued for Green County in southwest Wisconsin, as well as for Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll and Whiteside counties in northwest Illinois beginning Wednesday evening and lasting through Thursday morning.

Already wind chills across northwest Illinois have fallen down to -15 degrees thanks to a brisk northwest wind.  Those chills are expected to drop even further as temperatures fall through the evening, settling on

either side of zero degrees by Thursday morning.

Wind chills as low as -20 degrees are possible in some locations Thursday morning, meaning frostbite can occur on exposed skin within just 30 minutes.  So please make sure you're taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself in the morning.  As high pressure moves closer to the area during the day, the winds will become a little more light, especially towards Thursday evening.
