Montgomery County, IN – A Cold Weather Advisory is now in effect from 4 a.m. Monday through 9 a.m. Tuesday, impacting much of central, north central, west central, and east central Indiana, according to the Montgomery County Emergency Management and Homeland Security office.
Forecasters warn of dangerously cold wind chills between –19° and –20°, posing a life-threatening risk for anyone outdoors without protection. Exposed skin may develop frostbite in as little as 30 minutes, and extended exposure can lead to hypothermia.
Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity, bundle up in layers, and bring pets indoors. Travelers should use caution, and neighbors are encouraged to check on elderly residents during the cold stretch. Officials also warn not to use generators or grills indoors, due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Temperatures are expected to moderate slightly by Tuesday morning, but below-average cold will linger through midweek.
Authorities stress that this advisory should be taken seriously and encourage residents to share safety information.
