...EXTREME COLD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY 
MORNING...

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills around 30 below possible.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Colorado, northwest 
  and west central Kansas, and southwest Nebraska.

* WHEN...From Monday evening through Thursday morning.

* IMPACTS...Frostbite and hypothermia may occur if unprotected skin 
  is exposed to these temperatures. Wind chill values will fall to 
  extremely dangerous levels. An extended period of freezing 
  temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes. Added stress to 
  pets and livestock, especially young animals.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A long duration extreme cold event remains 
  forecast to occur. Wind chill values during the daytime hours 
  Tuesday and Wednesday may not rise above 15 below zero. Overnight 
  temperatures will be prone to become even colder if clouds are not 
  as thick as expected or if any breaks in the cloud cover occur. 
  Many daily record low temperatures are in jeopardy during this 
  time and perhaps even a few monthly low temperature records 
  especially if clouds break. Accumulating snow is also forecast to 
  occur which may also cause temperatures to fall even further and 
  pose an additional hazard to livestock.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must 
go outside.

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.

Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and 
unfrozen water. Young or smaller animals are at greatest risk for 
frostbite and hypothermia.

Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure 
portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills 
inside.
