Our Extreme Cold Warning is now officially in effect and will be here until tomorrow at 6am. After that, this warning will turn into an advisory until Saturday at noon as temperatures are expected to stay frigid. We have not had a wind chill above 0 degrees since last night and will not again until Sunday afternoon.
Temperatures are anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees below zero to begin today, and that paired with wind gusts up to 30mph out of the northwest allowed for feels like temps to hold anywhere from 30 to 40 degrees below!
Cold air and gusty winds will hold all afternoon and while high temperatures will return to about 5 below for many, feels like temperatures will stay anywhere from 25 to 35 degrees below zero all day.
Stay safe and warm!
