Temperatures are expected to continue to drop throughout the day and fall into the mid-teens tonight. Wind chills will be in the single digits, according to Elfer.

“Take precautions in regards to the extremely cold conditions,” Elfer said.

He also encouraged the public to check on vulnerable adults and “don’t forget about outside pets.”
