A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON TODAY FOR ALL BUT THE NORTHERN FOUR TIERS OF COUNTIES IN IOWA, WHERE A WIND CHILL WARNING IS IN EFFECT.

NORTHWEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR ZERO WILL CREATE WIND CHILLS OF AROUND 20 BELOW ZERO.

FROSTBITE CAN OCCUR TO EXPOSED SKIN WITHIN 30 MINUTES OR LESS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS…MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES.
