Wednesday

-42 is what it felt like as you were heading out Wednesday morning as temperatures plunged back to -32 to start the day, but that’s nothing compared to Key Lake where wind chills dipped down to -52.

Extreme cold warnings were issued for the city shortly after 8 a.m. CT and ended just after 10 a.m. as we warmed up to -20 by noon with wind chills still stuck in the -30s under mostly sunny skies.

Mostly sunny skies stuck around for the rest of the day as we climbed back up into the mid-minus teens with wind chills staying close to the -30s.

Thursday

-33 is around what it’ll feel like with wind chill as you head out the door Thursday morning as clouds roll back in and stick around right into the afternoon.

We should make it up to around -10 later on as a westerly wind helps bring in some milder air during the day.
