* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills ranging from 15 to 30 below
zero.
* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Colorado, northwest
Kansas, and southwest Nebraska.
* WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
* IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 20 below zero
could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
Frostbite and hypothermia may occur if unprotected skin is exposed
to these temperatures. Wind chill values may fall to extremely
dangerous levels. An extended period of freezing temperatures
could cause ruptured water pipes.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A prolonged period of of very cold
temperatures is likely from Saturday night through Tuesday
morning. Wind chills and temperatures are forecast to gradually
get colder each night with Tuesday morning potentially being the
coldest. Tuesday morning does look to be the coldest as well for
counties along and east of Highway 83, where the previous nights
wind chill may struggle to get to 15 below zero. Confidence is
high in wind chills less than 15 below or colder across much of
the area for the duration of this watch; however there is the
potential for much colder conditions especially if clouds break
and winds lighten some allowing for very strong radiational
cooling. Should this occur, then even a slight breeze would
increase the potential in 25 below zero wind chills or even lower.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
To prevent water pipes from freezing; insulate or drain or allow
them to drip slowly.
Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.
Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and
unfrozen water.
Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure
portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills
inside.
Livestock need extra feed in severe and prolonged cold weather in
order to keep up body heat and maintain body condition.
