Temps to Drop to 4 Degrees Tonight: Frost Bite, Hypothermia Possible Today

The frigid weather has a double impact, slick roadways and dangerously cold winds.

Count yourself one of the fortunate ones if you don't have to venture out today. Dropping temperatures and rising winter winds create a dangerous mix.

The main impact from the frigid weather will be from "slick roadways due to snow accumulations and black ice," according to the National Weather Service.

The weather service also warns that "dangerously cold wind chills mean frost bite and hypothermia are possible."

A winter weather advisory remains in effect until noon today. And the National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory from noon Monday until until 1 p.m. Tuesday due to the high winds.
