This week, millions of Americans are bracing for frigid temperatures as an Arctic air mass moves southward from Canada. The National Weather Service forecasts record-low temperatures and hazardous conditions, especially in the northern Great Plains, where wind chills could plummet to -60°F. Heavy snowfall is also predicted across multiple states, with some areas in Kansas and Missouri expecting over 8 inches. The extreme cold, following a storm that caused casualties in the South, poses life-threatening risks, especially in North Dakota and surrounding areas.
Forecasters anticipate that wind chills between -30 and -60 degrees will take shape over the northern Great Plains and last for several days.
These extreme conditions can cause frostbite within minutes. The cold could be life-threatening in parts of western and central North Dakota.
