FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS continue for long lasting brutal cold

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – The 13 First Alert Weather Team is continuing our First Alert Weather Days through Sunday. Also, blowing and drifting snow will continue to cause issues on roadways for the first half of this week. An arctic air mass has settled over NW Ohio and SE Michigan, and it will keep us very cold for at least another week as it remains overhead. Highs temperature from Monday through Sunday will be in the teens, and lows each night will drop near or below zero. There may even be a few nights where lows drop to double digits below zero.

The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Cold Warning for Lucas, Wood and Hancock Counties. This also includes the eastern counties of our view area. This is due to the dangerous wind chills expected tonight. Cold Weather Advisories were issued for our western counties. These alerts extend until mid-morning Tuesday.

Feels like temperatures throughout this First Alert Weather Day duration will range from 5 to -15 degrees (down to -25). The coldest temperatures appear to be at the end of the week and into the start of the weekend. Friday morning’s actual temperature will start around -10 degrees.

This will likely be the longest cold snap we’ve had in NW Ohio and SE Michigan since the end of 2017 and start of 2018. During that time, we had 12 consecutive days with highs in the teens or single digits. For this ongoing cold snap, we may end up with 10 or even 11 straight days with highs in the teens and single digits.

OTHER IMPACTS: With those gusty winds lingering through Wednesday, snow from Sunday will continue to blow and drift, causing some roads to stay slick and snow-covered. Plus, another dusting of snow is possible today, and a quick clipper may bring us another possible 1″ of snow on Tuesday. After that, the pattern looks much drier and sunnier through February 1st.

Stay with the 13 First Alert Weather Team as we continue to monitor this incredible stretch of dangerous winter cold.
