To the Campus Community,
The National Weather Service is forecasting a cold front that is headed for our region later tonight into Friday morning. Our area also expects gusting winds Friday evening and dangerously cold wind chill temperatures dipping into the single digits or below late Friday into Saturday (2/4/23). The Division of Enterprise Risk Management continues to monitor the forecast for our area.
Please monitor weather alerts and stay indoors as much as possible during this time. If outside, layer clothing (leaving no exposed skin) as frostbite can occur in 15 minutes or less with wind chills this low. Visit our Environmental Health & Safety website for more resources on cold weather preparation, including safety and prevention.
