Advisory

Wind Chill Advisory until 12:00PM Friday

* WHAT...Very cold wind chills expected. Wind chills as low as zero.

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Louisiana and southeast and southern Mississippi.

* WHEN...From midnight Thursday night to noon CST Friday.

* IMPACTS...With cold temperatures and gusty winds, heat is more quickly transported way form the body, especially where skin is exposed. This can quickly lead to hypothermia. In addition even though wind chill is mostly a concern for humans and animals it does mean that exposed pipes and car radiators would cool more rapidly and reach to the actual air temperature far sooner than expected. Those objects will not cool below the air temperature though.
