A Wind Chill Warning remains in effect until Noon Tuesday for most counties in the KJAN listening area. The exceptions are Mills and Shelby Counties, where the Warning will be replaced at 3-p.m. today by a Wind Chill Advisory, which will be in effect until Midnight.  A Wind Chill Advisory also replaces the Wind Chill Warning for Harrison, Pottawattamie, Mills, Montgomery, Fremont and Page Counties. That advisory will also be in effect until Midnight.

Wind Chills near -30 can be expected across western and southwest Iowa through this afternoon, with wind chills of 20- to 25-degrees below zero through about midnight, as the winds begin to die down.

Frost bite and hypothermia are still possible with prolonged exposure to the bitterly cold conditions. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves if you must venture outside.
