Meanwhile, winds as high as 40 to 50 mph will help to drive the wind chills into the low teens. Wind advisories currently affect Lyon and all surrounding counties until 6 pm.
Even colder air comes in late Tuesday as air temperatures around zero combine with northerly winds around 20 mph to produce wind chills from -10 to -25.
