Happy New Year from the Meso Extreme blog team! Chase season is just around the corner! Hopefully 2010 will provide some better chase weather for the http://www.stormchaselive.com/ chase team! Albeit, we are not wishing destructive weather and disaster on anyone!
Now back to winter weather....
This week has the potential for the coldest temperatures we have seen in the last several years. Forecast actual highs may be in the single digits with lows in the teens below zero. The wind chills have the potential to be very dangerous as most students head back to school! Keep a good situational awareness this week and do not forget to remember your pets during this stretch of potentially very cold weather!!!!
As I type this the NWS just issued a wind chill advisory for the local area. Here is the text:
