Dangerous Arctic Blast Hits Midwest: Wind Chills Drop to -30°F—Stay Safe!
Chicago, IL – An Arctic blast has brought extreme cold and heavy snow to the Midwest, affecting millions of people this weekend.
The National Weather Service has issued warnings about wind chills dropping to as low as -30°F in some areas of the Dakotas and Minnesota. Such freezing temperatures can cause frostbite in minutes and pose life-threatening risks.
Experts say this is the coldest weather since February, with much of the northern Plains and Midwest feeling the impact. People are advised to stay indoors, limit travel, and keep emergency kits handy.
Heavy snowfall from lake-effect snow is expected along regions near Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, lasting from Friday to Monday.
The Weather Prediction Center predicts snowfall totals could reach several feet in areas like Buffalo and Syracuse, New York. Major highways, including I-90 and I-81, may become nearly impossible to drive on due to snow drifts and poor visibility.
States like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois are under alert, with local authorities urging people to take all necessary precautions to stay safe.
