Coldest Air This Winter
Forecast:
Tonight: Clear, Dangerously Cold w/ Single Digit Lows & Sub-Zero Wind Chills | Low: 8 | N 1-6
Wednesday: Partly Cloudy & Cold | High: 32 | S 3-8
In Depth:
Arctic air is continuing to influence weather patterns across the Mid-South, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and dry conditions. A fresh surge of cold air moved through the region Tuesday morning meaning tonight many will see low temperatures in the single digits and wind chill values at or below zero.
As a result, a Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for the entire NewsChannel 5 coverage area until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
We encourage you to take necessary precautions to stay warm and to protect vulnerable populations and pets during these extreme conditions. Also, make sure to leave faucets dripping and cabinet doors under sinks open to help limit chances of pipes freezing.
As you head to work in the morning, or kids head to school (those who have school) need to bundle up as many locations will feel like they are at, or below zero.
We will remain at or below freezing through Wednesday afternoon, with temperatures finally rising above freezing by Thursday afternoon.
