* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 3 above.

* WHERE...Portions of south central and southwest Alabama, northwest
Florida, and southeast Mississippi.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM CST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin
is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing
temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must
go outside.

To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to
drip slowly.

Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure
portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills
inside.

Keep pets indoors as much as possible.

Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and
unfrozen water.

Life threatening travel conditions coupled with life threatening
cold temperatures will persist overnight as snow diminishes across
the area. Most area roadways are completely impassible in the
wake of the winter storm and folks should remain off the roadways
through the morning. Temperatures are expected to plummet into
the teens and even some isolated single digits tonight with wind
chills well into the single digits and possibly dipping below
zero.

DO NOT attempt to travel within the area tonight and anyone who
does attempt to travel may become stranded and could be exposed
to these harsh conditions for hours.
