"An 'extreme cold warning' has been issued in more than 20 states as temperatures are expected to remain so low that it could be deadly to go outside in many areas. The National Weather Service (NWS) said a stretch of the US from Texas to New York will experience bone-chilling temperatures and even colder wind chills on Monday and into Tuesday following the weekend's historic winter storm."
"Areas as far south as the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia will see morning wild chills reach the teens and single digits, with prolonged exposure to this cold potentially causing hypothermia and frostbite to exposed skin within minutes. States throughout the Gulf, including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, will see wild chills drop to 10 degrees below zero, cold enough to cause frostbite in just 30 minutes."
"In the Midwest, parts of Ohio, Nebraska, and Minnesota are expected to experience wind chills hit between 30 and 45 degrees below zero, which would potentially make stepping outside deadly in less than 20 minutes. The deep freeze warning has impacted dozens of states affected by Winter Storm Fern, including Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania."
An extreme cold warning covers more than 20 states as temperatures and wind chills plunge across a broad swath from Texas to New York. Morning wind chills will reach the teens and single digits in southern areas, and drop as low as -10°F in Gulf states, where frostbite can occur within 30 minutes. In the Midwest, wind chills between -30°F and -45°F could make outdoor exposure deadly within 20 minutes. Winter Storm Fern produced over a foot of snow, ice storms, and sub-zero temperatures across a 2,000-mile stretch, causing at least 16 deaths and threatening widespread power outages that could leave hundreds of thousands without heat.
