Tazewell, McLean, Schuyler, Mason, Logan, Cass, Menard, Scott,
Morgan and Sangamon, including the cities of Galesburg, Peoria,

Wind chill values: Wind chills are expected to drop to
between 15 and 20 below zero at times this morning from Interstate
55 west.
Effects: Such low wind chills will result in the potential
for frostbite to form quickly. As children return to school this
morning, they will be susceptible to the cold while waiting for the
school bus or while walking to school.
Precautionary, preparedness actions: A wind chill advisory
means that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate
low wind chills. This will result in frostbite and lead to
hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.
