Weather Service issues wind chill warning through Thursday

Although the Duluth to Silver Bay area received up to three inches of snow on January 27-28, only a trace fell on Cook County.

However, all of the North Shore is getting hit by Arctic air that could bring wind chill temperatures of -25 and even lower. 

In its latest announcement, the National Weather Service declares this a period of historic cold temperatures and life-threatening wind chills. Wind and very cold temperatures will combine to result in dangerous wind chills tonight, Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday, Wednesday night, and Thursday. There will be little improvement in the wind chill during the day Wednesday and Thursday due to the stronger winds each day. 
 

The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Warning for the entire area from Monday evening, January 28 through Thursday morning, January 31.
 

The National Weather Service says it has “high confidence” in its prediction of minimum wind chills, but is uncertain what times those frigid temps will arrive. It is anticipated that the strongest surge of Arctic air will be Tuesday with 3 p.m. temps ranging from -10 to -20, causing wind chills of -30 to -45. 
 

The weather service reminds everyone in the Northland to limit time outdoors; to stay dry and stay covered. Dress warmly and in layers.
