...EXTREMELY COLD SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...

THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WINTER SEASON ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
NEVADA SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WILL BE VERY COLD, WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE TEENS. A CLEARING SKY
AND VERY DRY ARCTIC AIR WILL COMBINE WITH WIDESPREAD FRESH SNOW
COVER TO SEND TEMPERATURES PLUMMETING SUNDAY EVENING. EXPECT
READINGS TO BEGIN FALLING BELOW ZERO AROUND 7 PM SUNDAY EVENING,
WITH TEMPERATURES OF 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO COMMON MONDAY
MORNING. THE COLDEST VALLEYS AND AREAS WITH THE DEEPEST SNOW WILL
SEE LOW TEMPERATURES OF 20 TO 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO MONDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT, AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, BUT AT THESE
TEMPERATURES ANY LIGHT BREEZE WILL CREATE DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS.

PREPARE FOR DANGEROUSLY COLD TEMPERATURES FOR THE COMMUTE TO WORK
AND SCHOOL ON MONDAY MORNING. DRESSING IN LAYERS WILL KEEP YOU
WARMER THAN ONE THICK WINTER COAT. COVER YOUR HEADS AND HANDS.
WIDESPREAD SUBZERO READINGS WILL RESULT IN SOME AUTOMOBILES BEING
DIFFICULT TO START MONDAY MORNING. CHECK STOVES AND FURNACES TO
ENSURE THEY ARE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY.
