A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CST THURSDAY.
* TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL SLOWLY TONIGHT WHILE WESTERLY
WINDS GRADUALLY DIMINISH TO AROUND 10 MPH. THIS COMBINATION UNDER
CLEAR SKIES AND A DEEP SNOW PACK WILL RESULT IN BITTERLY COLD WIND
CHILLS BETWEEN 15 AND 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO OVERNIGHT. THE LOWEST
WIND CHILL READINGS CAN BE EXPECTED AROUND SUNRISE THURSDAY
MORNING.
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.
