A dry cold front will bring a round of moderate to strong northeast to east winds through the weekend. These winds combined with very cold temperatures will lead to wind chill values ranging from below zero values east of the Cascades to teens/low 20s west of the Cascades. The coldest temperatures are expected early Sunday morning, but the stronger winds expected early Saturday morning will result in similar wind chill values both mornings. Be sure to dress appropriately and keep pets inside as much as possible. If venturing outside, cover exposed skin to avoid frostbite and hypothermia while exposed to these temperatures.

Freezing temperatures are expected along the immediate southern Oregon coast from Port Orford northward to Reedsport both Saturday (1/25) and Sunday (1/26) mornings. Frost and cold temperatures can kill sensitive outdoor vegetation. Take steps now to protect pets, plants and pipes from the cold and do not leave running cars unattended.
