A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM EST SATURDAY.

AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TODAY THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF THE BITTERLY COLD AIR
TEMPERATURES AND WIND WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES AS LOW AS
20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. THE COLDEST WIND CHILL VALUES SHOULD BE
MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN WINDS COMBINE WITH VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES TO CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR EXPOSED SKIN. THE
WIND CHILL IS EXPECTED TO BE COLD ENOUGH TO CAUSE FROSTBITE IN 30
MINUTES OR LESS, AND COULD LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE
NOT TAKEN. THOSE PLANNING TO VENTURE OUTDOORS SHOULD USE COMMON
SENSE AND DRESS WARMLY, MAKING SURE THAT ALL EXPOSED SKIN IS
COVERED.
