Clear skies and nearly calm wind will allow temperatures to drop
quickly this morning before sunrise. Sub zero low temperatures
are expected, which will be near record lows for December 4th.
Any light wind that persists will push wind chills into the 15
to 25 below range for a few hours. If you are heading out this
morning, dress in layers, cover exposed skin, and limit the time
outdoors if possible.

Northwest winds will continue to usher in very cold arctic air down
across the area tonight through Thursday. As the winds decrease to 5
MPH or lower toward dawn under mainly clear skies, temperatures will
plummet over the deep blanket of snow across the area. Ambient low
temperatures by Thursday morning will range from 5 below to 10 below
zero generally along and north of the Interstate 80 corridor. There
may be a few areas the get colder then 10 below north of Interstate
80 in northeast Iowa. Since this is rather early in the winter
season to get so cold, several areas may approach or exceed record
cold low temperatures for December 4th.
Even though the winds will be decreasing toward morning, they will
still be enough to combine with the very cold ambient temperatures
to produce wind chills from 10 below to 20 below zero across much of
the area. If you must head out early Thursday morning, dress in
layers, cover exposed skin, stay dry, and limit time outdoors if
possible.
