The National Weather Service has declared that dozens of counties in the region – at least two thirds of North Dakota and approximately the entire northern half of Minnesota – will be in an extreme cold warning from 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, through noon Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Extreme cold could expose residents of several states to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite over the weekend.

The NWS extreme cold warning for Duluth said: "The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 40 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes."

Additionally, a winter weather advisory is set for dozens of counties in eastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota.
