Did you know that it needs to be below 50° for there to be a wind chill factor?
Well, it’s true and unfortunately, we’ll get a chance to factor in the wind chill with today’s forecast.
It’ll just barely eclipse the 50° mark today, so the wind chill won’t always be valid but for much of the day it will.
We’re looking at a relatively cold day and a stiff breeze will make it feel that much colder. How much colder? Here’s the National Weather Service’s official Wind Chill chart.
