* NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS...CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THIS MORNING...IN WAKE OF A STRONG COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY. THESE WINDS...WHEN COMBINED WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID AND UPPER TEENS...WILL CREATE DANGEROUS
WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS ABOVE ZERO
AREAWIDE THROUGH LATE MORNING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL
RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE
NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT
