Cold Weather Advisory issued January 5 at 3:22PM CST until January 6 at 11:00AM CST by NWS Hastings NE

* WHAT…Very cold wind chills as low as 24 below expected.

* WHERE…Portions of north central Kansas and central, east
central, and south central Nebraska.

* WHEN…From midnight tonight to 11 AM CST Monday.

* IMPACTS…The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite
on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. Frostbite and
hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these
temperatures.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Although wind speeds will be rather light,
mainly only 5 to 10 MPH, the combination of even light winds and
very cold air temperatures will still drive wind chills to
dangerous levels. Please note: Cold Weather Advisories are new as
of this winter, and functionally replace previously-issued Wind
Chill Advisories, which have been discontinued.
