...BITTERLY COLD AIR MOVING INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

FRIGID AIR WILL BE FELT ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE TONIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL PLUNGE TO
BETWEEN 0 AND 5 DEGREES. SOME OF THE NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS
WILL DIP SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW ZERO. WIND CHILL READINGS WILL ALSO
DIP BELOW ZERO AT TIMES.

FRIDAY WILL BRING SUNSHINE...BUT HIGHS WILL ONLY REACH THE LOWER
20S MOST AREAS. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL NOT BE QUITE AS COLD...BUT LOWS
WILL STILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL...IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS.

THESE COLD TEMPERATURES CAN POSE A NUMBER OF DANGERS.

MOST IMPORTANTLY IT CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT YOUR HEALTH. EXTENDED
EXPOSURE TO BITTER COLD CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE OR HYPOTHERMIA.
IF YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE, LIMIT YOUR TIME IN THE COLD AND BUNDLE
UP WITH LAYERED CLOTHING. ALSO BE SURE TO WEAR A CAP AND GLOVES.

CHECK ON THE ELDERLY TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ADEQUATE HEAT, AND
BRING PETS INDOORS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

EXPOSED WATER PIPES WILL ALSO BE AT RISK OF BURSTING. YOU CAN
REDUCE THE RISK BY INSULATING PIPES, OR LEAVING A SMALL STEADY
STREAM OF WATER RUNNING AT INDOOR FAUCETS.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING SPACE HEATERS, AND BE SURE SMOKE
DETECTORS ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION.
