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

AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THIS MORNING. THE
COMBINATION OF THE BITTERLY COLD AIR TEMPERATURES AND WINDS OF 5
TO 10 MPH WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES AS LOW AS AROUND 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.
