The combination of gusty winds and cold temperatures will create extremely cold wind chill readings overnight. Wind chill values...will drop to near zero around sunrise on Monday morning. If you must venture outdoors...make sure you wear a hat and gloves.

Wind chill takes into account how wind and cold feel on exposed skin rather than solely the actual temperature. As the wind increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature. Animals are also affected by wind chill.
