Minnesota, Hennepin
Wind Chill Advisory
Statement as of 4:52 AM CST on January 19, 2008

Expires 7:00 PM EST on January 19, 2008

A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this afternoon. Temperatures will continue to fall to between 12 and 20 below zero through daybreak. West-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph will push wind chills to between 25 and 40 below through the morning hours. Wind chills of 25 to 35 below zero will continue during late Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon as temperatures rise modestly. Therefore a Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect for the entire area of central and south central Minnesota and west central Wisconsin until 6 PM Saturday.

Wind chill advisories mean that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate dangerously low wind chills. This will
result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors overnight into Saturday... make sure you wear a hat and gloves. Keep blankets and extra clothing in your car if you travel.
