...DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS THIS MORNING...

TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO RISE MUCH THROUGH NOON. MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

THESE TEMPERATURES, COMBINED WITH BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS PRODUCING GUSTS RANGING FROM 20 TO 35 MILES AN HOUR...WILL KEEP WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS MORNING. A FEW LOCATIONS IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND THE PURCHASE AREA OF WEST KENTUCKY COULD SEE WIND CHILLS REACHING UP INTO THE LOWER TEENS.

IF YOU MUST TRAVEL OUTDOORS THIS MORNING...BUNDLE UP WITH LAYERS OF CLOTHING AND WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

IF YOU HAVE ANIMALS THAT SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE COLD WEATHER, BRING THEM INDOORS OR PROVIDE THEM WITH ADEQUATE FOOD AND SHELTER OUTDOORS.

MANY ROADWAYS THAT HAD MELTED SNOW ON THEM HAVE REFROZEN OVERNIGHT AND WILL REMAIN SLICK AND DANGEROUS THIS MORNING. OTHER ROADS, THAT WERE WET WITH RAIN SATURDAY EVENING MAY BE COATED WITH A THIN LAYER OF ICE. REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD SURFACE YOU MUST TRAVEL ON, USE CAUTION AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION TODAY.

BEST ADVICE...IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRAVEL THIS MORNING...STAY INDOORS
