Frigid Temps: Area Warming Shelters Available For Those In Need

BITTER COLD:

The impacts from this storm will linger into the work week with extremely cold conditions. Highs will be in the middle 20s today with gusty winds which will result in some blowing and drifting of the snow.

SUB ZERO WIND CHILLS:

Tomorrow morning will be dangerously cold with actual temperatures in the single digits and wind chill that will be well below zero. Due to the extreme cold, the CBS 21 Weather Team has declared Tuesday a Weather Warn Day.

The arctic cold will last through the rest of the week and even into the early part of next week. As a result, the snow that fell isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

CBS 21 FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST:

Today: Partly Cloudy, Windy: High 26

Tonight: Clear and Cold: Low 2

Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny: High 22

Wednesday: Mostly Sunny: High 20
