DAYTON — It sure has been bitterly cold for a few days. Meteorologist Nick Dunn here on this Wednesday. Are you over the cold yet? We had some very cold temperatures this morning.
Dayton recorded a low of -6 degrees this morning, marking the coldest low of the Winter season so far. But, we were not the coldest in the area!
The Butler County Airport in Hamilton dropped to a low of -18 degrees! Yikes! Thankfully, it was not super windy to go along with the cold temperatures. I dropped to -12.5 degrees at my house.
The coldest verified wind chills this morning, as of 11:00 AM shows Dayton and Springfield had the coldest at -22 degrees! This means that the Extreme Cold Warning criteria of -20 degrees were verified.

We have another round of bitterly cold weather on tap tonight with wind chills of -10 to -20 degrees. As such, a Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for the entire area once again.
We should avoid warning criteria for tonight, but we will likely see one more Extreme Cold Warning before the week is over if current trends hold.

The latest forecast calls for the coldest wind chills over the next 5 days to be on Saturday, where we could again approach -30 degrees in spots for a wind chill. Downright crazy cold out there!
Stay safe and warm, Miami Valley!
