Frigid cold and lingering snow showers today will keep us well below average

We’re looking at some very frigid air this morning, with all of our area down in the teens, and some of us feeing like the single digits thanks to wind chill. A Cold Weather Advisory goes into effect at 8 AM for Tazewell, Bland, Wythe, Giles, Mercer, Summers, Monroe, Greenbrier, eastern Raleigh & Fayette, and northwestern Pocahontas counties until 10 AM tomorrow morning. The cold wind chills as low as 10 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken. Wind chill values and very cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure.

Temperatures tonight get down into the low teens and upper single digits, so make sure to bundle up as warmly as you can.
