Cold Front Weather Maps: Tracking Arctic Air Temperatures Across the U.S.

This weekend, Arctic air is expected to cause temperatures in the Northern Plains to fall to between minus 20 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the National Weather Service. These freezing temperatures are expected to persist for the next three days, sweeping southward to the Gulf Coast by Monday and Tuesday. The combination of freezing cold Arctic air and wind can be dangerous as wind removes heat from the body. The National Weather Service forecasts a wind chill temperature, considering both wind speed and temperature, to measure how cold it really feels outside. The article also notes the risk of hypothermia and frostbite with prolonged exposure to extreme cold temperatures.
