Arctic Plunge Will Drop Temperatures, Wind Chills Below Zero

If you think it’s cold now, just wait! Bone-chilling arctic air will plunge into the Northern Plains Friday and then spill south and east into the Ohio Valley and Northeast this weekend. Temperatures are forecast to drop below zero in places like Minneapolis, Omaha, Sioux Falls and Chicago. When you factor in the wind, wind chills could drop as low as -30 across parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota.

The Midwest clipper is moving across the Great Lakes and will move into the Northeast on Wednesday. A swath of 3-5 inches looks likely for many with some of the higher elevations in upstate New York forecast to see over 1 foot of snow. On top of that, it will be windy, especially in the Appalachians where blizzard warnings are in effect.
