A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM CST THURSDAY.
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PLUNGE INTO THE REGION ON THE
NORTHWEST WINDS. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FALLING TEMPERATURES
AND THE WINDS WILL LEAD TO WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 30 BELOW ZERO
ACROSS THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY AREA OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES APPROACHING 35 BELOW ZERO IN
WESTERN MINNESOTA.
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.
