The coldest series of days this winter season are on their way for later this week.
DeWitt County Emergency Management Agency Director, Teresa Barnett, explains the cold weather should arrive Wednesday and last to Friday.
Barnett says it's best practice for residents to take extra precautions, especially if you work outside. She says when traveling, be sure to have some water, food and extra clothes or a blanket in the vehicle in the event you get stuck.
Wind chills at times during the overnight and early morning hours are predicted for below zero at times. Barnett says make sure anyone outside is dressed warm.
By the weekend, temperatures are expected to reach 40-degrees again. Barnett says everyone needs to continue to be in tune with the weather forecast as the cold weather season is certainly upon us.
