UPDATE 10 A.M. It's mid-morning and the dangerous wind chill values are still in place across all of Minnesota, although they should be dropping through mid-afternoon before they start to plummet again before winds decrease overnight into Thursday morning. The coldest temperature recorded in Minnesota was a -70F reading in Ely earlier this morning, although that number is in question because they've been having issues with their sensor overdoing wind speeds, according to the National Weather Service. Here's a list of 10 am. air temps and wind chills across Minnesota. Metro area Minneapolis: -26F temp, -53F wind chill St. Paul: -26F temp, -51F wind chill Maple Grove: -28F temp, -54F wind chill Minnetonka: -24F temp, -46F wind chill Eden Prairie: -27F temp, -47F wind chill Burnsville: -24F temp, -46F wind chill Lakeville: -24F temp, -49F wind chill Anoka: -26F temp, -50F wind chill Lino Lakes: -26F temp, -50F wind chill Forest Lake: -26F temp, -50F wind chill Maplewood: -25F temp, -49F wind chill Greater Minnesota St. Cloud: -27F temp, -54 wind chill Brainerd: -33F temp, -54 wind chill Bemidji: -34F temp, -54 wind chill Duluth: -24F temp, calm winds Ely: -27F temp, -47F wind chill Detroit Lakes: -27F temp, -49F wind chill Willmar: -27F temp, -51F wind chill Hinckley: -26F temp, -43F wind chill Marshall: -22F temp, -42F wind chill Mankato: -26F temp, -50F wind chill Rochester: -26F temp, -53F wind chill Hutchinson: -24F temp. -49F wind chill Red Wing: -24F temp, -49F wind chill Even with calm winds it'll still be extremely cold on Thursday morning with lows dipping close to -30F in the Twin Cities for a second consecutive day. The official low temp at MSP Airport today was -28F. Even a 5 mph wind with an air temp of -28F will produce a wind chill of -43F. For example, at 10 a.m. today it was -35F in International Falls but a 7 mph wind gave them a wind chill of -55F. Here's a look at forecast wind chill values the rest of the day through Thursday morning, and if you really want to get specific you can check out this interactive map that allows you to click on a location and see what the hourly temperature and wind chill forecasts are. For example, in Minneapolis, the wind chill is forecast to stay between -45F and -35F through 4 a.m. Thursday, and from 5 a.m. to noon it's expected to be anywhere from -23F to -34F. NWS Twin Cities Original story (7 a.m.) It doesn't appear that any place in Minnesota has had an official wind chill record of -70F just yet, but Ponsford in central Minnesota came close with a -66F wind chill at 6:18 p.m. on Tuesday. Ponsford is located northeast of Detroit Lakes in Becker County, which is where some of the coldest wind chills were recorded. Look at some of these unbearable readings the National Weather Service released as of 8 p.m. Tuesday – we'll revise this list as updated temperatures come out on Wednesday. -66F, Ponsford -64F, Lake Park, Brooks Thief River Falls -63F, Mahnomen, Fosston, Donaldson, Gatzke -62F, Crookston, Fergus Falls, Rothsay, Flag Island, Badger, -61F, Wadena, Bemidji, Frazee, Verndale, Hendrum -60F, Detroit Lakes, Moorhead, Park Rapids, Staples, Baudette, Tenney, Hallock -59F, Ottertail, Dilworth -58F, Elbow Lake, Red Lake -57F, Warroad -56F, Roseau It may have dropped even lower in some parts of the state after 8 p.m., but those numbers haven't been released just yet. The wind chill was observed as low as -55F at the official Minnesota-St. Paul International Airport. The actual air temperature in the Twin Cities (MSP Airport) at 7:20 a.m. was a numbering -28F with a wind chill of -50F. This cold spell will stay in place all day Wednesday and through Thursday morning as the overnight low is again predicted to drop to near -30F. The good news is that winds will be lighter so the wind chill values should stay in the 25-40 below zero range for the metro and gradually warm on Thursday. By Sunday, you'll be wearing shorts and outside grilling as temps will surge into the 30s with a forecast high of 45 in the Twin Cities on Super Bowl Sunday.<doc-sep>MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Temperatures have been above-average for so many days this winter so far that the forthcoming cold snap is going to feel particularly brutal. The bitterly cold weather blowing across the country comes to Minnesota going into Thursday. As the winds crank up, so does the danger for those who aren’t properly dressed for them. WEB EXTRA: Cold Weather Resources Strong gusts of wind are expected to kick up the snow that fell in parts of Minnesota earlier this week, causing near white-out conditions in the west and northwest parts of the state. On Thursday, the temperatures bottom out, with “feels like” temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees below zero in the Twin Cities. Here are the cold weather rules for Minneapolis and St. Paul schools. The Minneapolis school district says, “MPS will likely cancel classes if the wind chill forecast for 6:30 a.m. the following day is -35° or colder, with winds of at least 5 to 10 miles per hour.” St. Paul said that schools would be cancelled if the forecast for 6 a.m. the following morning shows air temperatures below negative 25 degrees or wind chills below negative 35 degrees. Anoka-Hennepin schools said they rely on the National Weather Service’s warning system. “If the National Weather Service issues a “wind chill warning” stating that exposed skin can become frostbitten in less than 15 minutes, then the district will likely make a decision to close. If a wind chill advisory is in effect, students who are properly dressed for the weather should be able to walk to school or wait for the bus without risking frostbite. Keep in mind, students are not expected to wait more than 15 minutes for their bus to arrive.”<doc-sep>
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Minnesotans are waking up Friday to dangerously cold weather, with subzero air temperatures and wind chills as frigid as 50 below in the northern edge of the Arrowhead. The National Weather Service has placed almost all of Minnesota under a wind chill advisory until noon. This includes the Twin Cities metro, which woke up to 20 below wind chills. Such bitter cold can cause frostbite in as little 30 minutes on exposed skin. Anyone who’s headed outside Friday morning is encouraged to bundle up. Up north, in the Arrowhead region of northeastern Minnesota, it’s even colder. The area is under a wind chill warning, as wind chills are reaching 50 below, a reading that was recorded in Ely. 50 below right now in Ely. My goodness. #mnwx pic.twitter.com/Pz80uhcd45 — Matt Brickman (@Matt_Brickman) January 25, 2019 After sunrise Friday, winds are expected to die down and temperatures look to climb a few degrees above zero in the Twin Cities. There’ll also be plenty of sunshine, so expect to see sundogs over the frozen lakes across the state. Saturday will be cold, but not as frigid as the last few days. Highs are expected to climb into the low teens in the Twin Cities, which is good news for the players in the U.S. Pond Hockey Championship on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. As for Sunday, the forecast calls for snow. A system tracking toward southern Minnesota is expected to drop significant snow on the area, perhaps even plowable snow in the Twin Cities. A clearer picture of the system’s trajectory should come Saturday. But the arctic cold isn’t going anywhere. It’s actually going to get much colder next week. High temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday look to be below zero. The lows? Up to 30 below in the Twin Cities on Wednesday morning. That’s just air temperature. Factoring in wind chill, it could feel like 50 below in the metro. That’s cold enough for some schools to cancel classes. There’s no sugarcoating it, the weather will get extremely cold next week. In fact, this could be the coldest airmass in several years. Here are the current forecast highs Wednesday and lows Wednesday night. pic.twitter.com/IKAO6Fzhcr — NWS Twin Cities (@NWSTwinCities) January 24, 2019 MORE NEWS: Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles Coming To Target Center https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
