Waking up this morning, you can already feel it; the Arctic blast has arrived. A cold weather advisory is officially in effect and will remain so until Wednesday at 10 a.m. This advisory is due to air temperatures struggling to reach the teens for highs, with wind chills dipping into the negatives for several consecutive hours.
Wind chills for most of today—not just during the early morning hours—could drop to -15 to -20 degrees. This is because winds are expected to gust up to 20 mph at times. Fortunately, schools are closed today, but if you're heading out to any outdoor events for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, be sure to wear plenty of layers.
Although it will be sunny throughout the day, temperatures this afternoon are expected to climb only to the mid-teens—if we're lucky. At the warmest, it will feel close to 0 degrees this afternoon due to the wind chill.
