Wind Chill Advisory Tonight Following a Day of Snow

from The Weather Channel

National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Advisory to go with a Hazardous Weather Statement for our area.

The advisory says:

While snow continues to fall on the Cumberland Plateau, snows west of there are coming to an end. For those where it is still snowing, expect to see around 0.5 inch, up to 1 inch, through the remainder of the afternoon. Snows will continue to taper off from west to east, with snows ending on the Cumberland Plateau late this afternoon.

Behind the snow, temperatures will fall off drastically tonight as a strong arctic mass settles into the region. Temperatures will fall into the low single digits and while winds won`t be
strong, even a 5 to 8 mph wind will cause wind chills of -5 to – 10 degrees overnight. These are dangerous wind chills, so please limit exposure as much as possible.
