Mid-South Meteorology: DANGEROUS COLD Moving Into The Region

An Artic BLAST of COLD AIR is moving into the region Wednesday. Our high temperature Wednesday will be reached during the pre dawn hours, and during the day the temperature will be dropping through the teens to the single digits. A stiff North wind will drive wind chills down to below zero. Wednesday night expect temperatures in the single digits, dropping to overnight lows near ZERO! There's a slight possibility of some light snow or flurries but no real problems with snow are expected. Temperatures won't recover much on Thursday, with high temperature readings reaching only the low 20s.

Don't forget to take proper precautions and avoid the outside if possible on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Especially vulnerable are the elderly and very young, and of course, you'll want to make proper arrangements for outdoor pets (provide them with a source to stay warm or bring them inside).
