The coldest air of the season is set to arrive this weekend, with a multi-day stretch of sub-zero temperatures and wind chills. The coldest periods will be Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday mornings when wind chills will comfortably fall below -25° and will likely make a run towards -40° across portions of central Minnesota.
Air temperatures are forecast to remain below zero from Saturday night through Tuesday morning.
During the upcoming blast of bitter cold, frostbite will be possible on exposed skin in less than 30 minutes (and possibly even quicker).
Those without proper clothing and shelter could experience hypothermia in the expected weather conditions.
There are simple things you can do to stay safer, like:
- Dress in layers
- Cover all exposed skin
- Limit time outdoors
- Bring pets indoors
