Extreme cold warning issued as wind chills as low as -45 degrees swoop in overnight
The National Weather Service Twin Cities has issued an extreme cold warning predicting temperatures with wind chill on Monday morning to plunge as low as -45 degrees below zero.
The arctic temperatures will swoop in around 1 a.m. and stick around until about 11 a.m., forecasters say.
The dangerous cold Monday morning includes non-wind chill temperatures that will drop to -10 to -20 degrees below with wind gusts up to 15 mph.
Wind chills of up to -35 below have prompted a cold weather advisory for southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Compared to Monday, Tuesday will bring slightly weaker winds, but also lower temperatures, which will result in similar wind chills as Monday (between -35 and -45 degrees). Wind chills Tuesday will improve as the day goes on, rising between -15 and -25 below as temperatures remain below zero.
The mercury is expected to remain below zero through Thursday, the NWS said on X.
By next weekend, temperatures will rise into the 20s.
With wind chill temperatures as low as -25, frostbite can happen in as little as 15 minutes
In addition, hypothermia is a concern, according to the National Weather Service, calling it the most common winter weather killer.
'When you hear of a hiker, climber, hunter, or a stranded traveler perishing from cold weather exposure, hypothermia was the cause,' according to the National Weather Service. 'Most people are surprised to learn that hypothermia deaths can occur with temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees. If you or your clothing are wet, then hypothermia becomes even more likely.'
The National Weather Service advises people to dress warmly in extreme cold, including three layers of clothing, a face mask, a hat, and gloves.

Possible 100 MPH Winds Expected Sunday In These Four States
Possible 100 MPH Winds Expected Sunday In These Four States originally appeared on Parade. Severe weather is on the horizon, and residents in four states need to prepare for potentially dangerous conditions this Sunday. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a warning via X that winds could reach up to 100 mph in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana on Sunday, June 8, with the possibility of hailstones as large as 5 inches in diameter. If you live in these areas, you may experience extreme weather that could cause significant damage to property and pose risks to your safety. According to the Storm Prediction Center, the primary threat will impact the region throughout the afternoon and evening, dissipating by Sunday night. "Storms will move very rapidly," the NWS cautioned, mentioning the importance of taking action immediately when warnings are issued, rather than waiting for the storm to make its presence known. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 The NWS suggests that areas such as Dallas, Fort Worth, and Wichita Falls in Texas are expected to experience the highest risk for both high winds and giant hail. Oklahoma City, Abilene, and Lubbock are under an "enhanced" risk, and Little Rock, Wichita, and Shreveport face a "slight" risk. There's also a possibility of a few tornadoes. Meteorologists have noted that the storm could be classified as a "derecho," a powerful, fast-moving storm that causes straight-line winds, heavy rain, and flash flooding. Derechos are capable of causing severe damage to homes and businesses, as well as widespread power outages. As the storm approaches, residents are advised to secure outdoor items that could become airborne in high winds, including trampolines and other fixtures. The NWS encourages individuals in at risk areas to be prepared to shelter quickly and stay informed about the storm's movement. Possible 100 MPH Winds Expected Sunday In These Four States first appeared on Parade on Jun 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Severe storms possible across Maryland this evening; Alert Day in effect
A Tornado Watch has been issued for areas south and west of Baltimore through 10 p.m. Sunday evening, as the atmosphere becomes increasingly unstable ahead of an approaching warm front. The watch includes portions of central Maryland, southern Maryland, and the Lower Eastern Shore, where the threat for severe weather will be highest. The warm front is expected to lift northward toward the Baltimore metro area by Sunday evening. As it does, it will separate two distinct air masses: cooler, more stable air to the north, and warm, humid, unstable air to the south. Areas south of this front will be firmly entrenched in a favorable environment for the development of strong to severe thunderstorms, including isolated tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, small hail, and torrential downpours. The highest threat zone extends south of a line from Gaithersburg to Annapolis to Easton to Cambridge, encompassing a wide portion of the state. This includes the southern suburbs of Washington and Baltimore, as well as St. Mary's, Calvert, Charles, Talbot, Dorchester, and Wicomico counties. Although storms could occur anywhere in Maryland, the greatest concentration of dangerous weather is expected in these southern and eastern zones. Meteorologists warn that any storms that interact directly with the warm front could rotate and briefly produce a tornado, particularly given the enhanced low-level wind shear present along the boundary. Frequent lightning and flash flooding will also be concerns with any slow-moving cells, especially in areas that have seen recent rain. By midnight, the severe threat should diminish as storms lose daytime heating and the atmosphere begins to stabilize. Overnight conditions will turn quieter with partly to mostly cloudy skies and lows remaining mild, generally in the mid to upper 60s. Unsettled Start to the Week Monday will start off dry for many, with a mix of sunshine and clouds through the morning hours. However, the break will be brief. Another round of storms is expected to develop by late afternoon and continue into Monday night. The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of the region under a Marginal Risk for severe storms Monday, with the potential for damaging winds and locally heavy rain once again. Temperatures on Monday will climb into the low to mid 80s, adding additional fuel for afternoon convection. Cold Front Arrives Tuesday A stronger cold front will approach and move through the region on Tuesday. The best chance for showers and storms will come during the morning hours, especially east of I-95, as the front sweeps eastward. Behind the front, slightly drier and more comfortable air will begin to filter into the region, though temperatures will remain warm with highs in the low to mid 80s. The passage of this front will mark the beginning of a brief stretch of quieter weather midweek. Warm and Sunny Midweek Forecast High pressure will build in from the west on Wednesday and Thursday, leading to a period of dry and mostly sunny weather. Afternoon highs will approach 90 degrees, especially on Thursday, with noticeably lower humidity and overnight lows dropping into the 60s. This will likely be the most pleasant stretch of the week, offering a break from the repeated thunderstorm chances that have affected the region since the weekend. Stormy Pattern Returns for Father's Day Weekend By Friday, another cold front will begin to approach from the west. Increasing moisture and instability ahead of the front will lead to a renewed chance for scattered storms, especially Friday afternoon and evening. Unlike earlier in the week, this front is expected to slow down or stall across the region, leading to prolonged rain chances that may persist through the weekend. As a result, both Saturday and Father's Day on Sunday could feature periods of showers and thunderstorms, with locally heavy rain possible at times. Temperatures will trend cooler as clouds and rainfall become more persistent. Highs on Saturday and Sunday are expected to fall back into the mid to upper 70s, a noticeable change from the summerlike warmth earlier in the week.
