Don’t Be Cold! Get to a Severe Weather Shelter or Warming Center

Temperatures way below our normal are expected through Monday night. Tonight’s predicted low is 14°F, Saturday night temps will drop to 17°F, and Sunday we can expect about 22°F. During the day, temps will be in the 20s through Sunday and then climb to about 34°F by Monday.

If you are cold, seek warm shelter—these temps are life threatening with any prolonged exposure.
