INDIANA – The bitter, dangerous wind chills continue today, as winds howl from the west at 20-40 mph, with higher gusts to 50 mph.
Power outages will remain a threat through tonight in some spots.
Central Indiana remains under a Winter Storm Warning until 7 p.m. this evening.
Dangerous cold gusty winds will result in blowing and drifting snow.
Plan on slippery road conditions. Roads are snow-covered and under the snow is a layer of ice, it is too cold for salt and road chemicals to work. If you have to go out, be sure to fill your tank in case you get stuck for a long period of time.
Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.
The dangerously cold wind chills can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Dangerously cold wind chill of -25 to -35 will be common today. Wind chills as low as -40 will be
possible.
The arctic front, along with a chunk of polar air will make for a very cold Christmas weekend but turning brighter by Sunday, as snow remains on the ground, marking a white Christmas, the first since 2017.
Additional snow is on the way Monday with a few inches possible before a big warm-up by later in the workweek.
