LIFE-THREATENING COLD COMES TOMORROW...

Wind Chills Below -60 Degrees F Likely...

This is an image of forecasted wind chills for tomorrow morning. There are parts of the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains whose wind chills will surpass -60 degrees Fahrenheit, making any kind of outdoor activity life-threatening.

If you absolutely have to go outside, make sure to follow these tips:

-Minimize time spent outdoors. Even if you have heavy winter clothing on, this weather means you must be indoors as much as possible.

-Load up on clothing. Any and all coats, jackets, hats, gloves, mittens... this is extremely dangerous cold weather that is not to be taken lightly. This isn't your average winter cold spell- this is the kind of weather that is more typical of the Arctic tundra.

-Protect your pets. Fur isn't going to suffice this time around- keep your pets indoors at all times. This is just as dangerous to them (if not more dangerous) as it is to you. If you have to take them outside for a walk, put some clothes on them. As silly as it sounds, it might just save their life.

-Stay indoors. As obvious as this tip may seem, some people need that extra reminder that they aren't invincible to all cold weather, even with heavy coats and jackets.

Dangerous, life threatening cold is plunging in from the Arctic. Wind chill warnings and advisories have been issued from the Canadian border down to Florida. A -75°F wind chill was already reported in Montana earlier tonight!
