...BITTER COLD MOVING INTO THE MID STATE...

AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE MID STATE
EARLY WEDNESDAY...BRINGING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SUBFREEZING
TEMPERATURES AND THE COLDEST WEATHER SINCE JANUARY 2014.

WEDNESDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS TO MID
20S...AND TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS ACROSS ALL OF THE
MID STATE BY LATE WEDNESDAY. THE COLD AIR ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY NORTHWEST WINDS AT 15 TO 25 MPH...WITH A FEW GUSTS
OVER 30 MPH. THIS WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO DIVE BELOW ZERO
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. WIND CHILLS IN THE 0 TO
-5 DEGREE RANGE WILL BE COMMON ACROSS THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY.

WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING...BUT ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE FRIGID
SINGLE DIGITS.

AFTERNOON FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-40...AND TEMPERATURES MAY REMAIN
BELOW FREEZING UNTIL SATURDAY OR EVEN SUNDAY FOR LOCATIONS NORTH
OF I-40.

ALL PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED QUICKLY FOR THIS UPCOMING
LONG DURATION OF SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES. ENSURE WATER PIPES ARE
PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE COLD...AND OUTDOOR ANIMALS HAVE
ADEQUATE SHELTER. MAKE SURE HEAT SOURCES ARE WORKING PROPERLY.
CHECK THAT MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE PROPER LEVELS OF ANTIFREEZE AND AIR
PRESSURE IN TIRES. IF GOING OUTDOORS...WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHING TO
PROTECT FROM THE COLD WEATHER.
