...ANOTHER ARCTIC BLAST HEADING TOWARD MIDDLE TENNESSEE... AFTER A BRIEF WARM UP THIS WEEKEND...ANOTHER STRONG SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE MID STATE FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE ARCTIC FRONT SHOULD ARRIVE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND WILL SEND TEMPERATURES PLUMMETING THROUGH THE 20S ON MONDAY. TUESDAY WILL BE THE COLDEST DAY...WITH MORNING TEMPERATURES AROUND ZERO TO 5 DEGREES. THE COLD AIR COMBINED WITH GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL CAUSE DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS MINUS 15 DEGREES...SO A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED BY TUESDAY. TUESDAY AFTERNOON/S TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE INTO THE TEENS. THE BITTER COLD WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH LOW TEMPERATURES AGAIN IN THE ZERO TO 5 DEGREE RANGE. WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER SO WIND CHILL READINGS WILL NOT BE QUITE AS BAD ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. WEDNESDAY WILL REMAIN COLD BUT A WARM UP SHOULD OCCUR LATE NEXT WEEK. HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY REBOUND TO THE 40S AND 50S FROM NEXT THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND. PEOPLE ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE SHOULD PREPARE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. EXPOSURE TO THE COLD CAN RESULT IN FROST BITE AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA. THOSE VENTURING OUTDOORS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY SHOULD DRESS IN MULTIPLE LAYERS. ALSO...ENSURE THAT WATER PIPES ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE COLD AND GIVE PETS ADEQUATE INDOOR SHELTER AND WATER. -WXM-
