Very cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The coldest temperatures so far this cold snap are likely still to come. The inversion that has kept hills warmer will slowly weaken through the week as colder air aloft filters back over the area. By Friday night, valley temperatures may approach 50 below with the warmest hills near 30 below. These conditions will continue through the weekend. Clouds are not expected to return until early Monday morning at the earliest. Calm or very light winds will allow for areas of ice fog to continue, leading to poor visibility and difficult travel conditions. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside. &&
