The first arctic outbreak of the season is allowing temperatures to plunge across the eastern half of the country, creating “dangerously cold” wind chills of 15-30 degrees below zero in the northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
As the Thanksgiving Day winter storm exits the Northeast, it is pulling in arctic air from Canada and allowing the cold air to travel as far away as the Southeast.
On Black Friday, well over 200 million Americans are expected to experience below-average temperatures.
According to NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center, wind chills should fall well below zero across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
Areas of the Dakotas and Minnesota will see dangerously cold temperatures that could cause hypothermia and frostbite if unprotected skin is exposed. Some areas will drop to between -30 and -40 degrees when factoring in the wind chill.
In the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, temperatures could drop below -10°F, with wind chills making it feel even colder to around -20°F or lower. The coldest days would likely be in the Sunday-Monday timeframe.
Farther south into the Midwest, lows may fall into the teens, and wind chills could dip near -10°F. This could bring the coldest air of the season so far for many areas.
The winds will drastically increase as a powerful arctic front powers through the region on Monday-Tuesday.
Travelers in these regions should be sure to have a winter survival kit.

Uh oh...
so...roachpops anyone?
it’s the bomb cyclone atmospheric river caused by global warming/cooling/climate change.
Any word on the thousands in western nc and Tennessee that are homeless in tents from the storm 3 months ago that FEMA won’t help?
oh nOES! WINTER!
The young kids won’t think anything of these “creative weather terms”. Please explain to9 them that weather is NOT the same as climate.
Oh no...Not cold....Does it have anything to do with winter?
Not yet but it's not going to be good news.
They MUST have decent shelter of the death toll from this debacle will climb even higher, and this time it will solely be the fault of the US Government.
There are far too many adults who don't understand the difference either.
AKA winter.
Gosh. Have the northern Plains and Upper Midwest ever experienced this sort of thing before?
Do they mean it’s getting co l d as winter approaches?
Isn’t this usually called “WINTER”?
Have they named the storm yet? We just had Cloudy Day Irving here in Arizona.
Were winterizing the hen house today as its going to drop to about 28 degrees tonight in Atlanta. Highs in the low to mid forties.
So glad that I am not in Wyoming right now. That kind of cold is brutal. I remember walking to school as a kid in 40° below zero weather without windchill. We used to spit so we could watch is hit the ground frozen - no joke.
And no, they did not cancel school because this was before America defiled itself and became a nanny tranny state.
