WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO NOON CST TUESDAY. 
The cold wind chills could result in frostbite or hypothermia if precautions are not taken.

Total ice accumulations of up to one tenth 
of an inch may result in icy patches on elevated roadways such 
as bridges and overpasses. For the second Wind Chill Advisory, 
dangerous wind chills as low as five below zero will be 
possible. An upgrade to a Wind Chill Warning will likely be 
issued later today.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. Prepare for possible power outages. Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.

HARD FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 9 AM CST WEDNESDAY.

WWU17

Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other 
sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor 
plumbing.

Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 30s on Tuesday; however, sub freezing temperatures are again expected Tuesday night into Wednesday. Therefore, the Hard Freeze Warning will remain in effect through early Wednesday morning.

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above- ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
