Dangerous Cold and Wind Chill Expected Through Friday

Dangerous Cold and Wind Chill Expected Through Friday
John Bobel
January 29, 2019

Updated: 4:30pm, Tuesday, January 29th

Snow showers will develop ahead of a cold front tonight. The combination of strong northwesterly winds and snow showers could result in reduced visibilities and difficult travel conditions for a short timeframe tonight.

Overall snowfall accumulations are expected to be less than a half inch, but isolated amounts up to  an inch are possible where snow bands reside for several hours. Use caution and drive slowly if you encounter one of these snow showers tonight.

Wind chills will also drop to dangerous levels by tomorrow morning behind the cold front.

A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect from 5AM to 2pm tomorrow (Wednesday, January 30)

A Wind Chill Advisory means that cold air and the wind will combine to create low wind chills. Frostbite and hypothermia can occur if precautions are not taken. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves.


Temperatures near zero along with gusty west winds will create very cold wind chills late tonight and Wednesday. Wind chill values of 10 below to 20 below are expected across southern Indiana and north central Kentucky. The cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that cold air and the wind will combine to create low wind chills. Frostbite and hypothermia can occur if precautions are not taken. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves.
