...EXTREME COLD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT 
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills between 15 and 25 below zero 
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana, southwest Michigan, and 
  northwest Ohio.

* WHEN...From late Sunday night through Wednesday 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 will occur if unprotected skin is 
  exposed to these temperatures.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A period Monday into Monday night will be 
  able to warm into the single digits below zero which provides 
  additional uncertainty around wind chill magnitude. Time duration 
  of this relatively warm period and individual alignment of wind 
  and temperatures during the watch period are still uncertain. Lake 
  effect snow and accompanying cloud cover will also impact wind 
  chills during this time period insulating them like a blanket and 
  keeping those areas relatively warm.

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.
