Bitterly cold temperatures have returned to the Raccoon Valley Radio listening area for the next couple of days.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for Dallas and Guthrie counties until noon today and then again from midnight tonight through 9am tomorrow morning. Greene County will remain under a wind chill advisory through noon tomorrow. The main threat with the advisory are temperatures reaching as low as 35-degrees below zero. National Weather Service officials say when temperatures get that low, frostbite can happen within 10-minutes of being outside. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, the blowing winds are creating some partially covered roads with snow along parts of state highways in Greene and Guthrie counties.

The one to count on for winter weather coverage is the Raccoon Valley Radio Network.
