...THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE COLD AND BLUSTERY... WITH A VERY COLD AIR MASS ALREADY IN PLACE...A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE STATE TONIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT... NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE 20 TO 25 MPH RANGE WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO PLUMMET. WIND CHILLS OF ZERO TO MINUS FIVE DEGREES WILL BE LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE MID STATE STARTING AFTER MIDNIGHT AND LAST THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. MANY WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE TEENS THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WHILE WINDS WILL CALM DOWN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...IT WILL REMAIN COLD. BY FRIDAY MORNING...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PLUNGE TO NEAR ZERO WITH WIND CHILLS OF MINUS FIVE TO MINUS TEN DEGREES. TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO DEAL WITH THE COLD OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ENSURE WATER PIPES ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE COLD AND PETS HAVE ADEQUATE INDOOR SHELTER. ADDITIONALLY...EXPOSURE TO WIND CHILL VALUES THIS LOW CAN RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA. THOSE VENTURING OUTDOORS SHOULD DRESS WARMLY...AND LIMIT THEIR TIME OUTDOORS. -WXM-
