Our morning started with a very mild 64° and will be dropping straight down till it gets to 15 with a wind chill of zero or below. Very unusual for this area. Weather.com changed us to 14° for tonight and the record low (1884) is 13. This is the coldest it has been for 120 years!! Here is a sweet little advisory from a local tv station. Notice at the bottom they are reminding us to wear our hat and gloves. LOL.
* Areas affected: southeast and south central Virginia and
northeast North Carolina.
* Hazards: dangerously low wind chills.
* Wind chill values: zero to 5 below zero due to temperatures
between 10 and 15 degrees above zero combined with west winds at
15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 mph.
* Timing: late tonight and Tuesday morning.
* Impacts: the cold temperatures may result in frozen water
pipes and will be a danger to exposed skin.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
If you must venture outdoors... make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.
