must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency.
A Wind Chill Watch means there is the potential for a combination
of very cold air and the wind to create dangerously low wind
chill values. Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for
updates on this situation.
