DES MOINES — A cold weather advisory remains in effect for our area this morning until noon, and yet another will take effect tonight.

The National Weather Service in Des Moines issued the first warning for most of the state of Iowa with very cold wind chills of as low as 28 below zero expected.

For the second Cold Weather Advisory, very cold wind chills as low as 25 to 32 below expected. That advisory will take effect at 9pm tonight, and it will remain in effect until 9am tomorrow morning.

The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 30 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. Wind chill values can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure. Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and unfrozen water.
